@dldesjar, please accept my warmest welcome to the Community. Thank you for stopping by and informing us of your concern. I prioritize providing guidelines on adding a previous contractor check payment so that your 1099 form is correct.

I recognized the importance of accurately recording and tracking payments in QuickBooks Online for your 1099 forms. You can add a check to report a transaction as an expense and a cost. However, if it is a bill payment, you can record it using bill payments.

Thank you for the information. I’m new to this forum and may have misguided my question. I am not using QuickBooks online, but rather QuickBooks payroll online. Sorry for the confusion. In the payroll online system, I attempt to enter a check for the contractor, with the original date the check was written, but the system will not allow me to save the entry. Just nothing happens. So far, I have not been able to enter a previous payment for a contractor.

Welcome to the QuickBooks family, @dldesjar.

 

Let me guide you on how you can enter the check for your contractor in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

If you paid your contractor outside QuickBooks, we can enter a vendor check. In instances like this might cause you to get charged again if you re-enter this via a direct deposit. Here’s how:

 

  1. Click the + New icon and select Check.
  2. Choose the Payee and the Bank account from the respective dropdown.
  3. Complete the necessary information needed and select Save and close.

 

I also added this article for more details: Create and record checks in QuickBooks Online.

 

Furthermore, you can pull up a variety of payroll reports in QuickBooks. This will give you a closer look at your employee's total wages, deductions, and tax information in a certain period. For the complete list of available payroll reports and how to pull them up, kindly refer to this article: Run payroll reports.

 

Should you have further concerns with payroll, kindly don’t hesitate to add a Reply. I’ll make sure to get back to you as soon as I can. Have a great day!
