1099 complaint. We pay contractors out of contra income accounts. QBO does not let you select accounts for generating 1099s. Why not let us pick the accounts we use.

Hi there, theresa. 

In QuickBooks, when you generate a 1099, you can select all the affected accounts that were used on the transaction for 1099 vendors. 
 

Also, If you paid your contractors with a credit card, debit card, gift card, or via PayPal, or a third party system they will not be reported on the form for the 1099 calculation. 
 

You just need to ensure you map the 1099 form correctly. 

To become more familiar with the boxes on the form 1099, you can have these article handy: 

• Do I need to file 1099 forms with my state?
• Add or edit contractor payments (for 1099 filings)
• Understanding payment categories for the 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC 
• About 1099 boxes
