I am reorganizing my COA. 2022 1099s are done. For 2023, I am needing to switch the account form which my 1099's are pulling. Can you please assist me with this?

It's good to see you posting today, txgoldswimming!

I'm happy to provide information about your 1099 accounts, so you'll be guided on what to do next.

If your goal is to not use the old accounts/categories, you can create new ones and use them for your contractor transactions in 2023. Then, simply map them when you create 1099s at the end of the year. You basically map accounts for each year's 1099, so it's okay if you don't want to use the old ones.

I would also recommend adding new items and assigning the new accounts to them in their Expense account fields. This will ensure that we don't mix up past and new transactions on the new accounts and that we keep your books organized.

Feel free to go back to this thread if you have other questions in mind.

Thanks for coming back, txgoldswimming-g.

That's great to hear that my colleague's recommended solutions are working for you. In addition, when preparing your 1099s, you can check the boxes for the types of payments you made and the expense accounts you used for these payments.

However, how you set up the details on 1099 will have an effect on QuickBooks. I recommend mapping the accounts and boxes for both the 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC forms so that QuickBooks can automatically determine which entries should go to the 1099-NEC. You can read this article to learn more about which payments are not included in 1099 forms: Understand which payments are excluded from a 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC.

I'm also adding this article so you'll be able to see other related information about 1099 and be updated with this form: Get answers to your 1099 questions.

You can always post here in QuickBooks Community if you have other concerns or inquiries about processing your 1099. I'm always here to make sure that everything is taken care of. You have a good one.
