How to prepare 1099 with quickbooks online?

You've come to the right place for assistance, MLL4. I'm here to help you prepare and file your Federal 1099s with QuickBooks Online.

If you pay contractors in cash, check, or direct deposit, you'll need to file 1099s with the IRS. If you're filing contractor 1099 forms electronically with us, QuickBooks will help you prepare and submit these taxes seamlessly in your account. To guide you through the process, refer to the steps below:

1. Go to Payroll, and select Contractors. Then, click Prepare 1099s.

2. Make sure your company name, email, address, and tax ID are correct and match what's found on tax notices or letters from the IRS.

3. Click Confirm info and get started.

4. Tap Select Accounts and choose or confirm the accounts used for your 1099 expenses or payments, then select Add. 

5. Next to each account added, select the 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC boxes that represent the type of payments made to your contractors this year. Select Next.

• Important: Choose your boxes carefully. Most businesses will choose Nonemployee compensation, Box 1 1099-NEC, but check with your accountant if you think you might have made other types of payments.

6. On the Tracked for 1099 tab, place a checkmark next to each contractor who should get a 1099. Make sure ‌the contractors' info and email addresses are correct. Select Edit ✎ to make any changes.

7. If a contractor is missing, select the Not Tracked for 1099 tab. Select Add to tracked list to add the contractor to the Tracked for 1099 tab then select Back.

8. Review the Reportable total amount for each contractor selected then select Next.

• Note: You won't see certain electronic payments to contractors such as those made by credit card, Paypal, etc. This is because these are reported for you by the credit card company, bank, etc. If you don’t see all of the payments you expect, from the Reportable Payments Only ▼ drop-down select Non-reportable Payments Only.

9. Then, click on Preview to view each 1099 and review the amount in each box. Choose Continue to 1099-MISCs to view your 1099-MISC forms and select Next.

10. Once done, Continue to E-File to e-file your 1099s. Or select I’ll print and mail to print and mail the forms yourself.
