Thanks for following up with the Community about this, Emy1881. I appreciate your picture, that helps me better understand what you're experiencing.
 

After reviewing the screenshot you've provided and taking a look in QuickBooks myself, it looks to me that you should definitely have the Tax: 1099 option available. However, it may be somewhat hidden when you first access your preferences.
 

I've included an animated image showing where you'll be able to find what you're looking for:


As Rubielyn_J mentioned, once you've set your Do you file 1099-MISC forms? setting to Yes, you'll be able to tick the Vendor eligible for 1099 checkbox when editing a vendor's Tax Settings.


Many useful resources about working with QuickBooks can be found in our help article archives.
 

I'll be here to assist if there's any additional questions. Have a lovely day!

I'm here to make sure you can access the 1099 option, @Emy1881.

 

To enable the checkbox for the 1099 form, let's ensure that we've selected Yes from the "Do you file 1099-MISC forms?" question in your company preferences. Let me show you how:

 

  1. Go to the Edit menu from the topmost portion.
  2. Select Preferences.
  3. Scroll down, then choose Tax: 1099.
  4. Click the Company Preferences tab.
  5. Click Yes from the Do you file 1099-MISC forms? question.
  6. Select OK.

Once done, you can go to the Reports tab and Vendor Center and then click the 1099 checkbox for the appropriate vendor. 

 

I've added a reference that will guide you in preparing and filing 1099s with QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Feel at ease to let me know if you have further inquiries about how 1099s work in QuickBooks. I'd be glad to help you as soon as I can. Keep safe.
