Question

1099 Report is blank for some users, but not all.

The 1099 report for 2020 is blank for some Quickbooks users at my company, but not all. I did some troubleshooting and the ones it is working for are actually on an older version of Quickbooks (2018 R5P). People on a newer version (2018 R16P) get a blank report. 

 

**This is very odd though, because most computers forced us to update to view 1099s. I don't know how it's possible there the R5P computers are able to do it. 

 

Here are the steps we are following. On the R16P computers, we are doing Vendors > 1099 Forms > 1099 Summary Report. Choose last calendar year, and run the report. It's completely blank. 

 

On the R5P computers, the menu is a little different. It's Vendors > Print/eFile 1099 > 1099 Summary Report. Same exact criteria. Not using a Memorized report, so there are no customizations to the filters. And all the data is there.  

 

I saw another post where someone said to go into the wizard, but that seems to require you to use Quickbooks in single user mode, which is untenable in our environment.

Hi @I-Already-Had-A-Username.

 

Let me share some information and help you with how to fix the 1099 blank report.

 

You'll need to re-enter the payroll service key or get payroll updates to resolve the 1099 blank report. It's because 1099 is related to the payroll update, not the release version.

 

You can then re-run the 1099 report after following the steps on the articles.

 

In case it needs to remap the accounts on the 1099 report, you can follow the steps through this article: Create 1099s with QuickBooks Desktop.

 

If you have other concerns about 1099, please place them here. I'm always open to help. Take care!

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I think I may have left out a key detail. These aren't related to payroll or paychecks. These are vendors we pay, who are 1099 eligible. I'm not sure how to "talk the talk" here, but I hope that makes sense.

Thanks for clarifying, @I-Already-Had-A-Username. I tried to run a 1099 Detail report in my sample account, and it worked without any issues. 

 

Though, the report was blank since I don't have any available data for that date range. 

 

In your case, I'd suggest you run the Verify and Rebuild data tools to help us identify any data issues within the company file. Then, the Rebuild Data will self-resolve what the Verify Data finds.

 

Here's how to run the Verify data tool:

 

  1. Go to the File menu.
  2. Highlight Utilities.
  3. Select Verify Data.

 

Next up, run the Rebuild data tool:

 

  1. Click the File menu.
  2. Highlight Utilities.
  3. Click Rebuild Data.

 

If you're still having issues running the report, you can check out this article for more troubleshooting steps: Fix data damage on your QuickBooks Desktop company file.

 

For future reference, you can also customize vendor reports to make sure you achieve what you only want to display in a specific report. 

 

Let me know if you have other questions about reports in QBDT. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
