If you’re missing or need to edit a contractor payment while preparing your 1099s:
- Check that all of the correct boxes/categories are selected and matched with the QuickBooks accounts used to track the payments.
- Be sure the list shows right tax year and type of vendor (they meet the 1099 threshold).
- Note any payments in the “excluded” column. These are most likely credit card or an electronic payment made to the vendor, which will be reported by the credit card company instead.
If you still need to add or edit a vendor payment, go back to the payment in QuickBooks and make the changes there. When finished, come back and finish preparing your 1099s.
