How do I add expenses to a 1099?

You need to make an expense transaction that links to the independent contractor and the correct 1099 account, sheri9800. I'll guide you on how to do this in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

To create an expense check, here's how:

1. Go to the Banking menu and select Write Checks.
2. Select the account where the money will be taken from in the Bank Account field.
3. In the Pay to the Order of field, choose the name of your independent contractor.
4. Enter notes (if necessary) in the Memo section.
5. Go to the Expenses tab and select the appropriate 1099 accounts.
6. Click Save & Close.

Whenever you're ready, prepare and file your federal 1099s with QBDT: Create and e-file 1099s with QuickBooks Desktop.
