As of a couple of months ago, when I pull a 1099 report (summary or detail) so that I can review prior to printing 1099s is now blank. I know all applicable vendors have their eligible for 1099 boxes checked. I think this has something to do with the new 1099-NEC form and I have read numerous discussions about this issue but have not found a solution. PLEASE HELP!

I FOUND THE FIX!!!!

In order to view data on the 1099 summary or detail for 1099NEC vendors, you must do it through the 1099 wizard.  

 

Click on Vendor tab at top

1099 forms

Print/E-File 1099 forms

You'll get a notice about "before you prepare and file forms 1099,,,," - click yes

You have the option to "Get Started" for 1099misc or 1099nec

Once you clicked get started for 1099nec, hit continue

Hit continue again (this is the verify your 1099 info screen)

Hit continue again (this is map vendor payments and accounts)

NOW you can view the detail report. at the top right where you see 1  2  3  4  5, just below the description for the numbers you will see View Detail Report :)

Click continue and in the same place on the next screen you will see View Summary Report :)

 

There you have it folks. 

 

 

NOTE: you can view 1099misc vendors from the vendor tab at top by selecting the report option, but his will not work for 1099nec vendors.

Hi there, @Vixen_Storm.

 

Allow me to share the troubleshooting steps to see the latest1099 forms in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

The 1099 NEC form is now available in QBDT. I'd suggest getting the latest tax table to fix form-related issues.

 

Then, update the program to get synchronized with the latest data. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Help and choose Update QuickBooks Desktop.
  2. Go to the Update Now tab.
  3. Select the Reset Update and click Get Updates to start the download.
  4. Once done. Hit OK and restart QuickBooks.
  5. When prompted, accept the option to install the new release. This is how it looks like:

 

After that, click the File menu and select 1099's/1096. For more information about the printing process, go through this article: How do I print my 1099 forms?.

 

Please note that Form 1099-NEC due date is February 1, 2021. Make sure to submit the form before due dates to avoid getting penalties. For more details, you can check this article: Tax year due dates

 

I've added this article about the year-end task: QuickBooks Desktop Year End Prep and Resources.

 

Let me know if you have other questions. I'll be around to back you up. Take care.

January 5, 2021

Thank you but this is not a form related issue at all. As stated, I am not able to pull a report for 2020 to show my 1099 Vendors. Also, we have QB Enterprise Solutions 20.0 so I am not sure if this matters for your update instructions. If not, I tried as you stated and got the Update Error: Failed to reset update. Please advise.

January 5, 2021

We can perform a few troubleshooting steps to isolate the issue, Vixen_Storm.

 

There are a few ways on how we can resolve the error update. You can start with running the Quick Fix my Program from the QuickBooks Desktop Tool Hub. Here's how:

 

  1. Download and install the QuickBooks Desktop Tool Hub.
  2. Go to the Program Problems tab, then select Quick Fix my Program.
  3. Reopen QuickBooks and your company file.
  4. Download and install the update.

If you're still getting errors, you can use this reference on other solutions with the specific error: Fix error when updating Desktop or Payroll.

 

Then, you can pull up your 1099 report again. 

 

Keep me posted on how this works. I'd be more glad to help. Take care!

January 6, 2021

The same for me!  I think when the update happened regarding the 1099 changes, it unmapped the accounts.   I went into Edit - Preferences - Tax: 1099 - Company Preferences - map accounts (either MISC or NEC)


After I did that, my info showed up.

January 6, 2021

I finally figured out the same thing late last night. LOL! 

Edit

Preferences

Tax:1009 (scroll to bottom of list)

Company Preferences

Map the accounts to either 1099 NEC or 1099 MISC by clicking on “you can do it here” under each item. Once everything was re-mapped, I ran the report and it worked.

January 12, 2021

I had the same issue, after doing this it worked! Thank you!

January 12, 2021

Here is what fixed this for me - ad the exact same problem 

 

edit

preferences

company 

Tax: 1099

Map to 1099-NEC - click on "you can do it here" 

click yes 

a new window will pop up - under "apply payments to this 1099 box" select from the dropdown 

 

 

January 13, 2021

My issue is that QB wants to put things in 199 NEC and I need them in MISC.  It does not offer a choice, only NEC.

January 25, 2021

It’s a mapping problem 

go to preferences 

taxes

you should be able to figure it out from there

January 16, 2021

I have the same problem to view the 1099 summary and 1099 detail reports. Always showing the Blank Page. Maybe was Since November past when the Quickbook program took a Update!

I'd like to share a few troubleshooting steps to help isolate the issue, Jvazquez93.

 

If you have marked your contractors as eligible for 1099 and they are paid above the annual $600 threshold, We can do the Verify and Rebuild Data. This helps determine any possible data damage and resolves the issue.

 

To Verify Data, go to the File Utilities Verify Data. If QuickBooks doesn't find any problems, select OK. You can keep using your company file. You don't have any data damage.

 

For the Rebuild Data, go back to File > Utilities > Rebuild Data. You can click the OK button to back up your company file and wait until the Rebuild is complete. You can repeat the same process two or three more times. 

 

Once done, restart your QuickBooks Desktop to ensure that all components are updated. Then, generate the 1099 Summary or Detail report again. 

 

If you're still seeing a blank page, you'll want to repair your QuickBooks Desktop program. You can find the instructions in resolving data damage on your company file here: Fix data damage on your QuickBooks Desktop company file.

 

You can also read these articles for other fixes and details about 1099s:

 

Please let me know how it goes. I'll be right here to help you out again. Thanks.

Is possible give me a link with Quickbook 2020 desktop Setup with previous R10 version?

As R8, R7, R5...

 

I tried verifying with rebiuld data and verify data, and all is Ok.

 

I believe that R10 update have problem because in the previous everythings were working fine.

 

In other PC with previous release update, took the Backup for view the 1099 report and Yes can view The Report. But this PC i dont like because have a slow processor.

Our Quickbooks is updated and we cannot see the 1099 report to direct it to the correct 1099 boxes. It states it wants you to back up your files. Additionally, before the last update we were able to see our 1099 clients who would be on the Detail or Summary list now nothing comes up. We have over 100 clients on QB and cannot E file them. We also went to the Chart of Accounts and selected a tax line mapping but nothing happened and nothing shows up for the client who should receive a 1099

I appreciate for updating your QuickBooks, @Vikki18.

 

I want to make sure you're able to see the 1099 report, so you can direct it to the correct boxes in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Since QuickBooks is in the latest release, ensure that the 1099 accounts are map correctly. This way, you can designate the correct report to the boxes. For the complete steps, visit this article: How to modify your chart of accounts for your 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC filing

 

As my peer mentioned above, generating a backup copy of your file is a component of the 1099 process. Also, to make sure you have a copy of your old data. 

 

When clients are missing from the list when mapping 1099, it could be because they're not active, marked as eligible for 1099, and the threshold is below $600. With this, I'd suggest checking the vendor's profile. To do this, please follow the steps provided by MaryJoyD

 

If the issue persists, I'd recommend communicating with our Customer Care Team. For the steps and support hours, you may refer to the article presented by Jen_D. 

 

Please note that the form 1099-NEC due date is February 1, 2021. Guarantee to submit the form before due dates to avoid getting penalties. For more details, you can check this article: Tax year due dates

I am an independent bookeeper with 10 clients, they all have different versions of Quickbooks.  One of the older versions I used this morning, I can print the 1099 NEC, but the box 1 does not line up like it is supposed to.  The newer version I am working on this afternoon Desktop Pro 2018 will not even go to the 1099 option.  When i go to Print Forms, 1099s, I get the update Quickbooks screen.  When i  tell it to run the updates, it says "nothing to update", I am still unable to go to the 1099 report or 1099 forms.  When I go to Edit, Preferences, 1099s, it only gives the option for 1099 Misc, no option for NEC.  I actually need both for most of my clients because they have contractors, plus rents and attorney fees to report.  How can I get this done?

Perfect, in this week I will try it.

Now, i could found the Quickbook 2020 setup R7 for reinstall, and now can view my reports again!!

But while, i will do the update for verify it with following your post.

Thanks!!

January 20, 2021

I am running QB online and when I try to run reports to show vendors and contractors the report comes back blank. In fact, any reports I run under the "Expense and Vendors" and "What you Owe" shows up blank.

Please help as I need to be able to run these reports as well as run the 1099 reports.

January 26, 2021

I'm not sure if you got this working or not, but for anyone reading having issues.  You need to remap all of your accounts to one form or the other (NEC or MISC).  Once you do this you will see the report functioning properly.

January 26, 2021

How do you remap the accounts?

January 27, 2021

I need to know how to map accounts too!

January 26, 2021

I have a slightly different problem. When I try to print a 1099, I get a message, Before you prepare and print 1099  you need to backup your data. I backed up the date online nd keep getting the message so I cannot proceed to print my 1099s. Can someone help me?

Hi there, @JWM321.

 

I'd be glad to help you print your 1099 in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). 

 

I appreciate the details you've shared about the things you've done. Since you're able to save it through online backup. I'd suggest creating a local back up so check if you're still going to get this issue. You may refer to the screenshots below:

 

 

Once done, try to print your 1099 forms again to see if you're still getting the same error. If it's still the same I'd recommend updating the QBDT program to get the latest data. When the update finishes, close and reopen QBDT. Then, restart your computer to refresh the program and apply all the patches.

 

Open the QBDT program and check if you're now able to print the 1099 forms. 

 

If you're still not able to do that, you may check out this article to help you on the next troubleshooting method you can perform: Verify and Rebuild Data in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Also, you may consider checking this article from the IRS to know more details on how to map the 1099 accounts: Instructions for Forms 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC (2021).

 

You're always welcome to tag my name in the comment section if you have other questions. I'll be ready to back you up. Take care.

I need to be able to print 1099 summary reports from previous years.  When I try to bring it up, I get an error message.  How can I access these reports?

JoesemM

Hi, @Ann35.

 

At the moment, QuickBooks Desktop can no longer be generated last year's 1099 report. This is due to the IRS updates made to the 1099MISC/1099NEC for the tax year 2020. In addition, standard reports 1099 are also affected by these changes as well.

 

However, if you e-filed via the 1099 E-file service, you should be able to see the copies of the prior 1099s. In case, you didn't E-file through Intuit and unable to save a PDF of your 1099 form, you'll have to manually fill it out.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Reports menu.
  2. Select Vendors &Payables.
  3. Run the Transaction List by Vendor report.
  4. Filter to the Vendor for 1099 accounts
  5. Grop by Vendor(You can filter it to one Vendor or by a group).

 

You can also refer to this link for more details about customizing reports in your QBDT software.

 

Once done, you can memorize the report to save its current settings. This way, you won’t have to customize it in case you need to run it again in the future.

 

Notify me if you have any other questions by posting a comment below. I'll be sure to get back to you.

It’s an account mapping problem caused by the new 1099 forms. You are making this too hard folks.  Edit preferences tax 1099 remap your NESC AND MISC payments to the correct account and bingo the report runs fine.

March 10, 2021

Appreciate the details, @RemodelingSpecialistsLLC.

 

I have some information about the 1099 payments. In QBDT, the process of recording payments is through selecting the Pay Bills option and choosing the payment method. While there isn't a way to automatically remove the word VISA from the check number, you'll want to manually remove it as a workaround.  

 

For now, you can visit our blog site so you'll be able to get the latest news about QuickBooks and what our Product Care Team is working on.

 

I've also added this link here in case you need help with other vendor tasks. It has topics with articles to guide you along the way. Just look for responses that suit your concern.

 

Let me know in the reply section below if you have other questions or concerns with 1099s. I'm always here to help. Have a wonderful day ahead.
