Why don't I see a 1099 for my lawyer eventhough she is set up to track for 1099?

We're happy to have you here today, Accounting. Let's troubleshoot the missing contractor when preparing your 1099s in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

If your lawyer is missing or not showing when creating 1099s, you can run some reports to get everything back on track.

First, ensure they're active or marked as eligible for a 1099. To do that, let's run and customize the Vendor Contact List. Here's how:

1. Go to Reports and search for the Vendor Contact List report.
2. Click Customize.
3. In the Rows/Columns section, click Change Columns. Tick the Track 1099 checkbox.
4. In the Filters section, click the Deleted dropdown and select All. Then, Run Report.
5. Click Sort and select Track 1099 under Sort by.
6. If you see a missing vendor, select their name and click Make Active. 
7. If they have No under Track 1099, click their name and select Vendor Details. Then, Edit, mark the Track payments for 1099 checkbox and hit Save.

Once done, verify if your payments to this lawyer meet the threshold. It's important to note that only those contractors you paid above the annual $600 cash threshold get a 1099. Also, make sure you're paying them from the right expense account. For more in-depth information, please visit this article: Troubleshoot missing contractors or wrong amounts on 1099s.
