How do I add missing contractors/vendors for 1099 filing

Welcome to the Community. Antoinette. 

Let me share information on adding your missing contractors or vendors in your 1099 filing in your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account. 

First, let’s ensure that when you start creating your 1099 forms and a contractor or vendor is missing from the list, it could be because they are inactive or not listed as eligible for 1099. You can check them and create what 1099 reports you could make. 

Next, check that these transactions meet the reporting criteria, such as payments made through cash, check, or direct deposit, and exceed the minimum reporting threshold of $600. It is important to note that payments made by credit card, debit card, gift card, or a third-party network such as PayPal are not included in the reporting requirements as QBO will automatically exclude them. 

To view the list of contractors/vendors, follow the steps given below:

1. At the left panel of your QBO account, choose Expenses then Vendors.
2. Select which vendor. 
3. Tap Edit at the upper right corner of your screen. 
4. A prompt at your left panel will appear. Under Additional info, Mark checked the Track payments for 1099.
5. Click Save.
