some Vendors are missing from 1099 prepare

Hi there, @Sonny209.

We can perform various steps to verify and add your contractors in preparing your 1099s for filing in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

While you confirmed that these contractors are set up for 1099 tracking, due to their number and the time it takes to add them manually, we can run the Vendor Contact List report to identify 1099 vendors and update their status if necessary. To do so, you can follow the steps below when customizing the report in a classic view:

1. Go to the Reports menu, search Vendor Contact List, and open the report.
2. Select Customize and click Change columns in the Rows/Columns section.
3. Put a checkmark on the Track 1099 checkbox.
4. Go to the Filters section and select Deleted. Then, change the dropdown to All.
5. Select Run Report.

For a modern view, refer to this article: Customize reports in QuickBooks Online using modern view.

To sort your contractors, select Sort and then Track 1099. If you see a missing Vendor, you can change their status by selecting their name and choosing Make Active.

If they happen to have No under the Track 1099 section, we can perform the steps below to enable them if needed.

1. From the report, select their name.
2. Select Vendor Details and Edit.
3. Mark the Track payments for 1099 checkbox, then Save.

Also, one of the possible reasons why they are missing could be that these contractors are inactive. To verify and make changes, you can follow these steps:

1. Go to the Vendors tab and select the Gear icon above the Action column.
2. Select the Include inactive checkbox.
3. Next to the missing vendor, select Make Active.
