Employees and Contractors

I can assist you with adding your employee as a contractor in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @AwayTrans. 

You can create a separate profile for this employee as a contractor. Just vary the contractor's profile by adding or removing the middle initial.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Expenses menu and select Contractors.
2. Click on Add a contractor. 
3. Provide your contractor’s information or tick the Email this contractor checkbox so they can fill it out (If you opted in for the email, wait for the contractor to fill out their info)
4. Select the Add contractor button to save. 

If you didn’t choose to send an email:

1. Click the Add button next to Personal details or Bank account.
2. Provide all the necessary information.
3. Choose Save once done. 

Here's more information about setting up contractors and tracking them for 1099s. Then, understand which contractors need 1099s. It'll guide you in viewing all your 1099 vendors as well as 1099 totals, accounts, amounts and other details. 

You can refer to this article if you need help adding a contractor or changing an amount when you create your 1099s in QBO: Fix missing contractors or wrong amounts on 1099s.
