If I cannot get contractors to show up on 1099 how do I correct it?

Let me share a few reasons why the contractor won't appear on the report, and we'll go through them to see which one applies to your scenario, so we can resolve it, matworkzpilates-.

If a 1099 contractor is missing from the list when you start to create your 1099s, it's possible they're not active or marked as eligible for a 1099. If you're not creating 1099s, create this 1099 report to see which vendors are set to track 1099s. Then, you can change their status. Here's how: 

1. Go to Reports on the top menu(Take me there) search for Vendor Contact List and open the report.
2. Click Customize. Then, in the Rows/Columns section, select Change columns.
3. Hit the Track 1099 checkbox. In the Filters section, hit Deleted and change the ▼ dropdown to All.
4. Press Run Report. Then, select Sort, and under Sort choose Track 1099, to sort your contractors.
5. If you see a missing Vendor, you can change their status, or continue to the next step. Select their name and click Make Active.
6. If they have No under Track 1099. Select their name and click Vendor Details. Once done, select Edit ✎ and mark the Track payments for 1099 checkbox then press Save.

Secondly, if you paid your contractors with a credit card, debit card, gift card, or PayPal, they'll be excluded from the 1099 calculations. The financial institution reports these payments, so you don't have to. To find the payment information, run the Excluded Payments by Vendor. Here are the steps you can follow.

1. Go to Payroll and select Contractors.
2. Click Prepare 1099s, then choose Let's get started or Continue your 1099s.
3. Proceed to the Check that the payments add up window.

Note the column titled Excluded. You can select the total in this column to see an Excluded Payments by Vendor report, which shows transaction details. This will help you double-check if payments should indeed be excluded.

Lastly, if the accounts you used on your vendor transactions are not mapped for 1099, then the transactions won't show on the report. This includes the accounts you used on your items. You can correct the accounts by mapping them while creating 1099s in QuickBooks.
