Contractor Payments

Hello Community.  This question is about Contractor payments made through QBO Payroll/Contractor.

 

A contractor payment seems to be limited to 4 payment items.  We're needing more (for various reimbursements, etc.).  If, after a contractor payment is completed and then I open the payment and edit it by adding line items and distributing the payment differently, what will be the effect?  Will this mess up their 1099s in any way?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi there, NumbersByNelson.

 

I'm here to share some information when recording contractor payments.

 

Let's start with the completed payment issue. Since the transactions are completed, reopening it and adding line items will mess up the tracking.

 

Also, when adding additional line items, did the system prompt you with a message? You may have already reached the direct deposit limit. Thus, the system limits you from entering additional lines.

 

What we can do is, record the additional line items separately and send another direct deposit or a paper check.

 

I've added this article for more information about direct deposit limits: Do direct deposits have a limit?

 

I'm just around the corner whenever you have other concerns with QuickBooks.
