Question about removing1099 Misc Mapping

UPDATE: Please disregard this question, as I just figured it out. I had to go back through the mapping process of 1099-MISC and change the box for that vendor to Omit from 1099 and save. Once I did that it let me add them to the 1099-NEC list. Thank you

While setting up my 1099 vendors, I errored and mapped a vendor to 1099-Misc, when they should of been 1099-NEC. The message that pops up from QB says: "This account is mapped to 1099-MISC. To map it to form 1099-NEC, remove the mapping from Form 1099-MISC or create another account." I don't want to create another account as this account should be 1099-NEC and I don't have any 1099-MISC forms to file this year.

I have been searching the Q&A to see if anyone else has had this issue with filing and see that there is quite a few, but have not found any answers to my specific issue. Filing 1099 forms was never this difficult in the past, and am very surprised that QB has not made this a much smoother process.

Thank you for any help you may give....

I tried the rebuild and it did not work - it found nothing to rebuild.

So now i can not finish my 1099s (Misc and NEC) until you fix this glitch.

How soon might that be; before the forms are due I hope.

I have the same question, but I am unable to change the mapping!

In the "Map Vendor payment accounts" box, there shows the Account name, Account type, Apply payments to this 1099 box-I cannot change the Misc Box 3 to NEC. The drop down doesn't drop down! I have been working at this all day and cannot figure it out! Please help! Thank you

Hey there, @suzymassel17.

Thanks for joining in on this thread. This isn't the impression I want to leave you with. It's my priority that you're able to get your vendor payment accounts mapped.

Using the Verify and Rebuild tool can help eliminate these types of glitches in your product. Don't worry. It only takes a few easy steps.

Here's how:

Verify

Go to the Window menu.
Select Close all.
Choose the File menu.
Hover over Utilities.
Pick Verify Data.

Rebuild

Go through steps 3-4 from above.
Hit Rebuild data.
Click OK when prompted to backup your company file.
Once the backup finishes, the Rebuild tool will start.
Press OK when you get the message, "Rebuild has completed."

Afterward, make sure you're updated to the latest payroll update (22101) and try the steps again to map the vendor payments account. Here are a few articles that can provide some helpful information:

I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, let me know. I want to make sure you're able to get back to running your business. Wishing you and your business continued success!

Thank you but it did not help. I may just have to use from 1099 Misc again. I appreciate your time

Do you have further details on how you corrected this? I am having the same problem and QB support has not been able to help me!

I'm here to help keep the process of removing the account from 1099-MISC to 1099-NEC easy and simple, amyk1.

Downloading the latest tax table is a good start when it comes to fixing 1099-related issues in QuickBooks.

After that, let's update your QuickBooks Desktop to its latest release to synchronize the changes. Here's how:

Click Help at the top menu bar and choose Update QuickBooks Desktop.
Go to the Update Now tab.
Select the Reset Update and click Get Updates to start the download.
Once done. Hit OK and restart QuickBooks.
When prompted, accept the option to install the new release.

Once done, go back to your 1099-NEC wizard and remap the accounts. See the steps below:

Click Edit at the top menu bar and choose Preferences.
Scroll down and click Tax: 1099.
Go to the Company Preferences and click here under If you want to map your accounts to boxes on Form 1099-NEC.
Select or map all the accounts you used for your 1099-NEC.
Hit Save & Close.

You can read through this article to know more about the new 1099-NEC form as well as a link on how to file them: Understanding payment categories for the 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC.

If you still need help with mapping your 1099-NEC accounts or need further assistance with QuickBooks, please let me know. I'll be here to keep helping. Have a great rest of your day!

Thank you, this information was very helpful! I followed the steps below but when it leads me back to the mapping vendor accounts page the drop down for that vendor is still "greyed out"/locked from choosing another option. Is there a workaround?

Where do I go to review, edit mapping for 1099 MISC

Hello @quiqui,

Let me walk you through the steps on how you can prepare your 1099 form in QuickBooks Desktop.

Go to Edit.
Select Preferences.
Click Tax: 1099.
Select Company Preferences.
On the Do you file 1099-MISC forms section, select Yes.
Under If you want to map your accounts to boxes on Form 1099 MISC, select click here.
Review and map your accounts accordingly.
Click Save & Close.

On that same page, here's an article you can read to learn more about generating your form: Create and file 1099s with QuickBooks Desktop.

In the same manner, I've got you this helpful article for guidance in preparation for the 2020 tax season: QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Year-end Checklist.

If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know by leaving any comments below. I'll be here to lend a hand.

It seems that all tech help just repeats the steps without reading our concerns.

We have taken all the actions you suggest.

The problem, once again, is that we are unable to change the mapping; the drop down arrow is greyed out.

I have been on the phone with tech support for hours only to get a case number #[removed] and still no return call from you as promised two days ago.

I would appreciate a call today and hopefully you have worked out the bug and everyone can get past this problem.

Thank you.

This is not what we want you to experience, @kathikunkel.

I want to make sure that this issue will get resolve as early as possible. I suggest contacting again our QuickBooks Support Team. Provide them the case number so they can give you an update about the status of your issue.

I understand that you don't want to contact them, but they have the proper tools to further investigate this matter and identify what’s causing this issue.

Also, you can read through this article to know more about the new 1099-NEC form as well as a link on how to file them: Understanding payment categories for the 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC.

If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to reply to this post. We're all happy to help in any way we can. Keep safe and stay healthy.

Thank you NCET!!! To further clarify your advice, it did not work for me when I just did the "omit from 1099" and then hit "save & close" on the next screen. I had to continue that whole 1099 wizard all the way to the end and THEN hit "save & close."

The internet has heroes NCET and you are one of them. I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure that out. Thank you for updating your response.

Once again, I come to this community forum to find answers to my QuickBooks questions, and once again it is a fellow poster that provides the fix and not a QuickBooks person reading from a manual or posting stuff that most of the time is not relevant.

It would be really helpful for QuickBooks to understand that we usually know what we are doing and just telling us boilerplate info is not what we come here to find. Contacting support is so frustrating and time is in really short supply at this time of year for us.

Thank you fellow posters for once again for taking time out of your busy schedule to help a follow accountant.

Hello!
Im having the same problem. Did you find any useful guide on how to remove 1099 MISC mapping and change in to 1099 NEC?

S

smoothchz

I figured it out!!!

Go to Preferences / Tax 1099

Under tab Company Preferences, Click I want to map to 1099-misc

Change the account drop down to "Omit..."

Go back to Preferences / Tax 1099

Now click I want to map to 1099-NEC

It will allow you to choose in the drop down now.

Good luck!!
