What happens when you try to check the box?

Mine won't allow me to check the box. It is grayed out. I have no idea why it won't as all of my fields are filled in and it still isn't allowing me to select it at all. Any help is appreciated.

Hello @partyof9 ,

 

Since you're still unable to track 1099 payments for vendors even after following all the suggestions in this thread, I'd recommend contacting our Customer Care Support directly from the Help menu. Let me show you how.

  1. Go to Help.
  2. Select QuickBooks Desktop Help.
  3. Click Contact Us.
  4. Enter Vendor eligible for 1099 - Grayed out in the Tell us more about your question? field.
  5. Click Search.
  6. Chose a channel where you want to connect with our specialists.

With their tools, one of our specialists can work with you and share steps needed to let you track payments for contractors.

 

On top of that, 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.

I can help you in accessing the 1099 form, kawasakicountry.

 

To enable the checkbox for 1099 form, we'll have to make sure that we've selected Yes from the "Do you file 1099-MISC forms?" question in your company preferences. Let me show you how:

 

  1. Select Edit from the top menu bar.
  2. Choose Preferences.
  3. Scroll down, then select Tax: 1099.
  4. Click the Company Preferences tab.
  5. Select Yes from the Do you file 1099-MISC forms? question.
  6. Hit OK.

Once done, you can go to the Vendor Center then tick the 1099 checkbox of the appropriate vendor.

 

I've included an article that will guide you in preparing and filing 1099s with QuickBooks Desktop.

 

If you have additional inquiries about how 1099s work in QuickBooks, please tag me in your comment below. It's always my pleasure to help.

    @KlentB   We have an issue where QuickBooks is setting the "Vendor Eligible for 1099" to 'Yes' for each new vendor we add.  Sometimes it's just a gas station or a store we've purchased from.  We always have to go back in and change those to 'No' manually.  I can't find a setting for this option, but we'd like to change it so that the default is 'No'.  Any ideas on how to do that?

     

    Thanks!

    Thanks for posting on this thread milashmila.


    I can see the urgency of processing your 1099s on time. Let’s download the latest maintenance release for your QuickBooks to optimize its overall performance and apply the critical fixes.

     

    I’m here to help you through the process. Here's how:

     

    1. Open your QuickBooks and head to the Help menu at the top bar to select Update QuickBooks Desktop.
    2. Choose the Update Now tab and tick the box for Reset Update to delete previously downloaded releases.
    3. Press the Get Updates button and click OK to continue.

     

    Next, close and reopen QuickBooks to kick off the installation. Then accept to launch the new releases. Aside from that, update your tax table version. Running this process ensures you have accurate rates for supported state and federal tax tables.


    After performing all these steps, go back to the Map Vendor Payments account screen to configure the accounts. Here’s an article that contains a video on how to accomplish the task and instructions to process your 1099s: Create and file 1099s with QuickBooks Desktop.


    If none of these suggestions work, run the Verify and Rebuild Data Utilities. These built-in tools will check for integrity issues in the desktop program and resolve them once it finds one. I also recommend saving a copy of your company file to keep a record of all transactions. 


    Also, these resources will guide you on what specific 1099 forms you’ll have to prepare. From there, you’ll learn how to remove payments that are not included in the tax forms.

     


    Drop a comment below if you have any clarifications about processing the 1099 forms. I’ll jump right back in to answer them for you. Have a great weekend.
