Question

Blank Box 1 on Filed 1099s

When performing an electronic filing of my 1099s, the Recipients and Totals look perfect in terms of the data to be included in the 1099 forms.  And when I look at the summary report for the MISC and NEC filed reports, the amounts are shown perfectly in the reports.  However, when I view the downloaded 1099s that were filed, Box 1 (Nonemployee compensation) is completely blank for all the 1099s.  Are the mailed 1099s going to be correct and these are missing only online?

Thanks for joining the Community, dgalier.

 

If you filed your 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC forms and need to make corrections, per IRS regulations, you must correct errors the same way the original forms were filed. In the event you e-filed your originals, you must e-file the corrected forms. Additionally, if you printed your original form, you must print the corrected ones as well.

 

For more information on this topic, you can review our Understand the IRS regulations for filing 1099s & W-2s article. The IRS also has information on their website about this process.

 

Before making any changes, I'd initially recommend checking with a tax professional. If you're in need of one, there's an awesome tool on our website called Find a ProAdvisor. All ProAdvisors listed there are QuickBooks-certified and able to provide helpful insights for driving your business's success.

 

If the IRS rejected your 1099 forms, you won't be able to correct rejected forms. See our Fix rejected 1099 forms article to learn how to void them and file new ones.

 

In the event you've already filed your 1099s in QuickBooks, you may be able to correct them in the product. You'll want to be aware that the IRS must accept a form before you can correct it.

 

Here's how to check a form's status:
 

  1. Go to your 1099 filings tab.
  2. In the Status column, look for Accepted.

 

If your forms were accepted, you can begin e-filing 1099 corrections.

 

Please feel welcome to send a reply if there's any additional questions. Have a wonderful Friday!

They show as accepted. I want to know why Quickbooks failed in applying the dollar amount in the form.

Hi @dgalier. There's a situation where box 1 on Form 1099 won't show any amount. This happens if accounts and categories are mapped on box 2. If the accounts are mapped on box 1 but there's no amount, they need to file a correction. You can file a correction starting in February. I'll show you the process below. 

 

Note: That the IRS must accept the 1099 before you can correct it. You can't correct if the IRS rejected your 1099 forms. To avoid them, check Fix rejected 1099 forms.

 

  1. Go to Taxes, then select 1099 filings.
  2. Select Correct next to the form you want to fix.
  3. The accounts and boxes you selected before will show up. These accounts reflect the payments or expenses paid to your contractors, along with the relevant 1099 box. To remove an account, click Remove next to it. To add or change an account, click Select accounts.
  4. Select Next.
  5. Verify the Corrected total.
  6. Check your contractors personal information and email addresses. Click Edit to make changes and then Next.
  7. Choose Preview to view each corrected 1099, then click E-file corrected form twice.
  8. Repeat these steps for every 1099 form you need to correct.

 

For detailed steps, you can review this article: Correct or change 1099s in QuickBooks.

 

Additionally, you can check this article if you want to check your filing status: Create and file 1099s with QuickBooks Online.
