I am trying to file the 1099 forms and it is saying that two of the contractors have the same EIN number and they each have the same number as they are filing with their company EIN number and they both work for the same company. The filing process is asking me to correct. What do you do?

Thanks for reaching out on this, @lharrow.

 

Contractors shouldn't be using their company's EIN unless it's their company. Otherwise, they aren't contractors, they're employees of that other company.  Can you share a bit more detail of the context of this?

 

In the meantime I'm sharing this helpful article: Set up contractors and track them for 1099s in QuickBooks.

 

I look forward to hearing from you and getting this worked out! Take care.
