We have a contractor with 2 different bank accounts. Each bank account is saved as a separate contractor in Quickbooks. Quickbooks will not allow the 1099s for these contractors to process because they have the same tax id. How can I resolve?

Thank you for visiting the QuickBooks Community, ccampos-m1m.

 

Please know that you only need to file one 1099 per contractor regardless of how many bank accounts there are for their payment. I've got steps to ensure you can achieve your goal by performing alternative steps within QuickBooks Online.

 

I recommend merging the contractor's profile or data to move all the transactions into the one you want to keep and make the other one inactive on your end.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. From the left menu, click Expenses.
  2. Choose the Contractors tab.
  3. Select the name of the contractor, then click Edit.
  4. Make sure to change the Title, First name, Middle name, and Last name that is similar to the contractor you're merging it with.
  5. Ensure that the Display Name is also the same.
  6. Click Save and select Yes to confirm the merge prompt.

 

Once done, you can refer to this article on how you can file your Federal 1099s with QuickBooks Online: Create and file 1099s with QuickBooks Online.

 

In case you need guidelines on how you can make adjustments to your filed 1099 due to incorrect information, you can read this article: Correct or change 1099s in QuickBooks.

Thank you for your response.

 

Quickbooks will not allow me to change the Contractor for the transaction.

It was sent via direct deposit.

 

 

You cannot edit the amount, payee and transaction date for a direct deposit transaction. If we haven’t processed this payment yet, you can still void the transaction and we won’t send your payment.
