What appears and what does not appear in the report

  Details
Information that appears

The report shows transactions based on the following filters:

  • Transactions tagged for 1099 reporting when using Only 1099

  • All transactions, including non-1099 transactions, when using other Transaction information options

Information that does not appear

When Transaction information is set to Only 1099:

  • Vendors and employees that are not set up for 1099 treatment

  • Transactions that are not tagged for 1099 reporting

  • Amounts under the minimum reporting thresholds defined by the IRS

  • Amounts under the minimum reporting thresholds as defined by the IRS do not appear in the 1099 report.

    For example, you have $200 for a supplier for the 1099-MISC form. The minimum reporting threshold is $600 for that year. The data does not appear in the report.

If you select a different Transaction information option, these exclusions may not apply.

Before you begin

Verify 1099 information by creating a custom list view on the Supplier or Employee list. Include the following columns: Form 1099 type, Form 1099 nameand 1099 name.

Make sure that suppliers and employees meet the following criteria:

  • Are set up for 1099 treatment

    Only suppliers and employees set up for 1099 treatment are included in the 1099 report when using the default report settings.

  • Are assigned the correct default 1099 form and box

  • Have accurate 1099 names

Run the 1099 report

Go to the reports section of the Accounts Payable menu. As a best practice, run the 1099 report for either suppliers or employees (do not run it for both at the same time).

  1. Go to Accounts Payable > All > Reports > 1099 > 1099 report.
  2. In the Time period section, do one of the following:
    • Use one of the pre-defined reporting periods from the Reporting period and As of date fields. 
    • Enter a custom reporting period in the Start date and End date fields.

    If you complete all the time period fields, the report is based on the specified start and end dates and ignores the As of date.

  3. In the Filters section, determine the suppliers or employees to include. You can Select all or define a range of suppliers or employees using the From /To dropdowns.

  4. Use the Group by option to group information.

    Group by Vendor and employee, 1099 category, or None. Items are sorted in alphabetical order.

  5. If you're running the report in a top-level company and are configured to Issue a separate 1099 per entity, filter by Entity or entity group.

    The currency is determined by the entity location. Select Prompt on Run to require that you select an entity or entity group before running the report.

  6. Determine which transactions to include based on their 1099 form type.
  7. Select what type of Transaction information to include.

    Select to include Only 1099 transaction information, Non-1099 transaction information, or Show all transactions for the selected suppliers or employees.

  8. To include only payments that exceed the IRS minimum reportable amounts, select Show minimum eligible amounts only.
  9. Depending on how much information you want to include, select either Summary or Detail.

    What information appears in Summary or Detail mode?

  10. Optionally, select to Exclude credit card payments.

  11. Optionally, select to Include bills paid with credits or advances.

    To tie out your 1099-MISC form with the 1099 report, select this option.
