My contractors that I paid by credit card aren't showing up on the Tracked for 1099 column in QuickBooks. How do I prepare and send them a 1099?

Thanks for dropping by the Community. I see you want to process 1099 for your contractors. Allow me to share insight and guidelines that could help you achieve this, @jakofron.

If you used a credit card, debit card, gift card, or PayPal to pay your contractors, those payments won't be included in the 1099 calculations. The financial institution that processed the payments will report them, so you won't need to include them in your 1099 forms.

To locate the payment details, you should run the report for Excluded Payments by Vendor.

Here are the steps you can follow.

1. Navigate to Payroll and pick Contractors.
2. Click Prepare 1099s, then choose Let's Get Started or Continue your 1099s.
3. Proceed to the Check that the payments add up window.

Take note of the column labeled Excluded. By selecting the total in this column, go to Excluded Payments by Vendor report, which provides transaction specifics. It will enable you to verify whether the payments should indeed be excluded.

Furthermore, you can review the following resources to help you prepare and submit of your 1099s. It ensures that you can submit them punctually.

• Create and File 1099s using QuickBooks Online

By following these steps, you should be able to address the issue of setting contractors' 1099. If you have more questions about your tax rate, post them here in the forum. I'll be around to answer them. Stay safe!
