I am ready to do the 1099s but one of my contractors doesn't show up correctly. The 1099 box is checked and he earned more than $600. Any suggestions?

Thank you - I had forgotten to add that line item to the map.

I have the same problem. I do not see where it says "workers" on the left hand column. Just Vendors.

The accounts are mapped to direct sales and I can not change them.

Is there somewhere else I can fix this?

I can help with your 1099, Non Profit Accountant.

The Workers menu mentioned above is now the Payroll tab in QuickBooks Online (QBO). Also, if you haven't filed the form, we can modify the account from there.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Payroll menu and select Contractors.
2. Click the Prepare 1099s button.
3. Tap Continue your 1099s.
4. Change the account under Box 7.
5. Hit Next.
6. Review the data, and then Next.
7. Select either Finish preparing 1099s or Save and finish later.

If you file the 1099 already, contact the IRS directly for manual amendment.

For additional information, please see this link from the IRS: General Instructions for Certain Information Returns, Part H. It contains the steps to perform when discovering an error after filing a return. You can also refer to this page on how to perform the process: Correct or change 1099.

Additionally, you may not have a payroll subscription if you can't see the Payroll menu. In that case, you can select the Expenses tab, then Contractors.

Sorry, I do not have a Payroll tab with a menu. I do not have employees. Any other place I can fix this?

I have Quickbooks Desktop Premier 2021 edition. No Payroll menu, no employees, no Worker tab.

Any other way to fix this?

Hello, Non Profit Accountant. 

The steps shared by my colleagues are for QuickBooks Online, which is why you don't see the Payroll menu, no employees option, or no Worker tab. But don't worry, I'm here to guide you on how to do it on QuickBooks Desktop Premier 2021 edition. To create or file the 1099, you'll have to click on the Vendor and select 1099 Forms. I'll show you the detailed steps:

1. Go to Vendors, then select 1099 Forms, then Print/E-file 1099 Forms.
2. Create a backup.
3. Select Get started for the 1099 form you want to create. If you need to create both 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC, you'll need to repeat the steps for the other form. Important: There are 1099 forms and boxes changes, so choose your forms carefully. Most businesses will choose "Nonemployee compensation, Box 1 on the 1099-NEC, but check with your accountant if you think you might have made other types of payments.
   • If you're filing for New Jersey or Wisconsin, 1099 forms filed in these states have special rules for boxes 16 and 17. See File your state 1099 forms.
4. Select vendors that need a 1099 form and tap Continue.
5. Verify the vendor information is correct. You can edit any incorrect information by double-clicking on the section that needs updating. Click Continue.
6. Map the vendor payment accounts. Go to the drop-down in the Apply payments to this 1099 box section. Press the account you want to link the payment to. If any boxes are gray, they are mapped to the other 1099 form. You only map accounts to one 1099 form. When complete, select Continue. Note: If you see a message in red stating your settings do not match the current IRS thresholds, select Show IRS 1099-MISC filing thresholds and choose Reset to IRS Thresholds.
7. Review your payment information for exclusions. For more information on what can be excluded, see What payments are excluded from a 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC? Select View Included Payments or View Excluded Payments to see detailed reports. Select Continue.
8. Review the vendors and amounts you're going to report. Select Continue. Note: If you want to see the vendors who don't meet the IRS threshold, select View Summary Report.
9. Choose whether to print 1099s or e-file. 

Then, to E-file your forms, you need to import your data into Tax1099. Note: There is an additional fee for e-filing from QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). 

For the step-by-step guide in preparing your federal 1099s with QBDT, please see this article: Create and file 1099s with QuickBooks Desktop.
