Subcontractor

Hi there, @Kaisha26. Thanks for sharing your concern in the QuickBooks Community. 

Can you share with me the link that you've used to add sub-contractors in QuickBooks Online? This will help me review their steps and assist you more effectively. 

For now, the option to add sub-contractors is unavailable in the program. However, you can still add them as regular contractors in QuickBooks and differentiate them by adding the words "(sub-contractor)" to their display name. Here's how you can do it:
 

1. Go to Expenses and select Contractors.
2. Click Add a contractor
3. Enter your contractor’s info, or select the Email this contractor checkbox so they can fill it out.
4. When you're done, click Add contractor.

If you didn’t choose to send an email:

1. Select Add next to Personal details or Bank account and enter the contractor info.
2. Add the word (sub-contractor) in their Display name.
3. When finished, select Save.

QuickBooks has reports to help you get ready to create your 1099s. To know which reports you need to run, please refer to this article: How to run 1099 reports in QuickBooks which shows who needs 1099s, payment totals, and more.

If you have any further questions or need assistance with adding sub-contractor information into the program, please feel free to post here anytime. Thank you for reaching out, and I hope you have a great day!
