Can I use 1099 misc to pay vendors? do i select box 1 other income?

Welcome to the Community space, Cathy. We'll provide information to help you address your concern and continue tracking your vendors using 1099s inside QuickBooks Online (QBO).

If you're referring to tracking what you've paid your contractors or vendors, please know that you can use the 1099 MISC to keep track of those payments inside the program. Regarding what box to select within the set up, we recommend contacting your accountant so they can help you set it up. If you don't have an accountant, we can help you find one.
