Manually enter supplier 1099 opening balances

Manually enter opening 1099 balances for one supplier at a time on the Form 1099 Information page. If you have multiple suppliers, you might find it easier to import this information.

  1. Go to Accounts Payable > All > Suppliers.
  2. Select Edit next to the appropriate supplier.
  3. On the Additional information tab, select the Form 1099 link.

    The Form 1099 information with default box page appears.

  4. Select the correct Form name and Default 1099 box.
  5. For top level companies configured to issue a separate 1099 per entity, select the Entity to which these values pertain.
  6. Select the correct year in the Initial values for year dropdown.
  7. Enter initial values for the year in the appropriate box or boxes.

    A positive amount increases the opening balance amount, while a negative amount decreases it.

    Are you entering an open balance for a box that's different than the selected Default 1099 box? Enter 0.00 as the value for the Default 1099 box to prevent 1099 report errors.
  8. Select Save to return to the Vendor information page, then select Save again.
