Can you help me to make some payments made through Zelle to a Sub show up on a 1099 (over $600)? One ref said change the pmt method to cash, didn't help. Any suggestions?

Hi there, cll4. I appreciate you for taking the time to post here in the Community. Allow me to share some insights about adding Zell payments to 1099.

The IRS mandates that specific payments to contractors shouldn't be reported on the 1099 MISC and NEC forms if they are made via credit cards, debit cards, or digital payment networks like Zelle or PayPal. This exemption is because the financial institution or third-party system reports them, so you don't have to. For more details, check out this article: Understand which payments don't count from a 1099s form. 

I understand that you've already updated the payment method. Aside from that, make sure the check number field doesn't contain any keywords like Zelle, Debit, Debit card, DBT, DBT card, DCard, Debit cd, Visa, Masterc, MC, MCard, Chase, Discover, Diners, Paypal. It could be the cause of the issue. 

In addition to that, let's ensure you're paying contractors from the right expense account. Here's how to verify this:

1. Go to Reports.
2. Enter Transaction List in the search bar, then Transaction List by Vendor.
3. Select Customize.
4. Set the Report period to Last Year (or Last Calendar Year).
5. Go to the Rows/Columns section. Choose the Change columns link, then put a checkmark on the Split box.
6. Go to the Filter section.
7. Check the Vendor box, and from the dropdown, choose 1099 vendors who are in question.
8. Hit Run report.
9. Look under the Splits column for what accounts the vendor's transactions were tied to. If you see the word "SPLIT," select the transaction to see details on what accounts were affected. If this is a Bill Payment, access the Bill to see what expense accounts were affected.
