To move your vendor to a contractor status, you need to enable the Track Payments for 1099 option in their profile, techninja. I know how to achieve this. Let me show it to you.

 

This adjustment ensures that all payments to the vendor are tracked correctly for tax filing and reporting purposes. After setting this, the vendor's data will remain consistently visible in your system. To proceed, here's how:

 

  1. In your QuickBooks, click Expenses
  2. Go to Vendors. Select the right vendor and hit Edit
  3. Once you get to their profile, scroll down until you reached the Additional info tab. 
  4. Tick the box for the Track payments for 1099 and choose Save.

 

If done, you'll be able to see the vendor's name in the Contractors tab.

 

On the other hand, here are a few helpful references with more information about preparing 1099s in QBO:
