QB Desktop 2019.  I went in to run 1099 report. No vendors.  Went to check mapping. There is no drop-down option for any 1099.  Checked update.  Updated. Tried creating new expense category, still no drop-down 1099 tax mapping option.  So frustrated!

    Hi there, @cat44magic.

     

    I can help you with preparing your 1099 report on QuickBooks Desktop.

     

    To get started, let's ensure that your vendors are eligible for 1099 so their names will be added to the list/report. Here's how:

     

    1. Go to the Vendors tab, then click on Vendor Center.
    2. Tap on the vendor's name.
    3. Go to the Tax Settings section, then mark the box beside the Vendor eligible for 1099 section.
    4. Hit OK.
    5. Repeat the steps for other vendors that are eligible for 1099.

     

    When mapping the accounts, you can either choose to Show all accounts (all accounts from the chart of accounts) or Show 1099 accounts (only those accounts that were used on the transaction for 1099 vendors).

     

    You can also re-sort to your chart of accounts to fix the odd behavior and makes your lists go back to their default order. You can open this link for your guide: Re-sort lists in QuickBooks Desktop.

     

    Moreover, here's an article you can read more about preparing 1099s in QuickBooks Desktop.

     

    You can also skim through the topics from our help articles for more resources while working with QuickBooks in the future.

    Hi Angelyn,
    Vendors are set up as 1099 vendors.  When I try to map the "professional services" expense account to the 1099-nec tax line NO 1099 options are shown.  None.  I scrolled the list.  I have done this before...successfully. This client is an s-corp.  Could that make a difference? Shouldn't...they still need to issue 1099's.  Very frustrating.  Of course, serves me right for waiting. :-(

    Thanks for getting back to us here, @cat44magic.

     

    I have some additional steps to try to get your 1099 report working again. You'll want to run the QuickBooks File Doctor tool. This tool help fixes program-related issues such as no data populated on reports.

     

    Here's how to get there.

     

    1. Close QuickBooks. Then, download the QuickBooks Tool Hub. Save the file in your Windows desktop.
    2. Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
    3. Follow the on-screen steps to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
    4. When the install finishes, double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub.
    5. From the luanch pad, choose Company File Issues.
    6. Click the QuickBooks File Doctor tool.

     

    After running the tool, restart your computer and pull up the report again. Learn more about the QuickBooks tools at this guide: Fix common problems and errors with the QuickBooks Desktop Tool Hub.
