How do I change vendors to contractors?

Yes, there is, @leslie26. You'd be glad to know that there's a simple way to change vendors to contractors in QuickBooks Online (QBO), and I'll be happy to walk you through the process.

Let's go over the Vendor page and enable 1099 tracking for the vendor. Please refer to these steps:

1. Go to Expenses and select Vendors.
2. Click the vendor's name.
3. Select Edit.
4. Go to the Additional Info section and put a checkmark beside Track payments for 1099.
5. Click Save.

Once done, the vendor will now show under the Contractors tab.

Moreover, I'll share these articles to guide you in preparing and filing your federal 1099s in QBO:
