Update or remove 1099 form and box for a supplier
If a form or box has changed for the tax year, or if a supplier or employee was incorrectly tagged to a default form and box, you can update default 1099 information or change the 1099 status.
Before you start: Run a report to view affected suppliers
Before you make any changes, run a 1099 report to get an idea of the affected suppliers. After you make the changes, run the report again to verify that the changes took place.
- Go to Accounts Payable > All > 1099 > 1099.
- Select or enter the supplier in From supplier.
- Select the relevant 1099 form type.
- Select Detail in Summary or detail.
- Select View.
The report appears with a list of transactions for the selected supplier. Notice that the report displays the ABN and the 1099 category for the supplier transactions.
Update the 1099 form and box type
Add or update the 1099 status on the supplier record. After you update the 1099 status from a supplier, you can automatically update associated AP purchase invoice line items.
If you have multiple suppliers with transactions that require a status change, you can generate a 1099 report for those suppliers, export the resulting transactions, change the form and box type, then import them again using the Supplier 1099 transaction update templates. Go to Company > All > Import data to access the template.
Remove the 1099 form and box
After you remove the 1099 form and box from a supplier, you can choose to update the 1099 information for the associated line items in AP purchase invoices linked to that supplier.
If you have multiple suppliers with transactions that require a status change, you can generate a 1099 report for those suppliers, export the resulting transactions, change the form and box type, then import them again using the Supplier 1099 Transaction Update templates. Go to Company > All > Import data to access the template.
Supplier still appearing or missing from 1099 report?
If you change the 1099 status of a supplier type or employee type, the 1099 status of each included supplier or employee is also updated.
For example, you removed or added a 1099 form or box for a supplier but still see (or cannot see) the supplier on the 1099 report. This means the supplier is associated with a supplier type that already has a 1099 status.
Field-by-field definitions
The following information describes the fields on the Form 1099 information with default box page.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
|
Form name |
Assign a default 1099 form for this supplier or employee. Transactions created for this supplier or employee will be tagged with this form. To remove the 1099 status for a supplier, select None. |
|
Default 1099 box |
Select the default box which to which transactions for this supplier or employee will be tracked. |
|
Entity |
If you're entering initial open balance (historical YTD) amounts, select the entity to which they pertain. This field only appears at the top level company if your multi-entity structure is configured to Issue a separate 1099 per entity. |
|
Initial values for year |
Choose the year for which you’re entering initial open balance (historical YTD) amounts. If you’re setting up your Intacct books with a start date after January 1st, you probably need to set up starting YTD balances for each 1099 eligible supplier or employee. You might also want to enter values for prior years. You obtain these balances from your old accounting system.
Future amounts are added to the amounts, if any, you enter here. Remember to only enter the calendar year-to-date 1099 balance for each supplier(which can be different from the entire amount paid to that supplieryear to date). In addition, if your company is on a fiscal year that doesn’t correspond with the calendar year, you need to back out payments made to that vendor during the prior calendar year.
This process varies depending on whether Issue a separate 1099 per entity option is selected or not. When Issue a separate 1099 per entity is enabled, initial YTD amounts are entered at the top level or entity level for the entity. In this mode, suppliers in subordinate entities are assigned entity-specific initial amounts, even if they use the same supplier. If not selected, initial amounts for all suppliers and all entities are entered at the top-level entity. |
