In QB online payroll how do you create 1099 if you paid contractors outside the QB payroll system?

Hello, jemmons1.

I need more information about your concern to find the best solution so you can create 1099 forms.

You'll be able to create and file your 1099 forms if you pay your contactors via checks through QuickBooks Online payroll. You may have selected incorrect boxes for the type of payments that's why it shows no contractors have been paid. To fix this, can you provide a screenshot of how you map those boxes?

I've added these handy articles below for your reference:

• Set up contractors and track them for 1099s in QuickBooks.
• Create and file 1099s using QuickBooks Online.

Please don't hesitate to add any details below. I'll keep an eye on your response. Take care.
