Update or remove 1099 form and box for an employee

If a form or box has changed for the tax year, or if a vendor 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 vendors

Before you make any changes, run a 1099 report to get an idea of the affected vendors. 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 employee in From employee.
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 employee. Notice that the report displays the Tax IDand the 1099 category for the employee transactions.

Update the 1099 form and box type

Add or update the 1099 status on the employee record. After you update the 1099 status from an employee , you can automatically update associated expense line items.

Remove the 1099 form and box

After you remove the 1099 form and box from an employee, you can choose to update the 1099 information for the associated line items in expenses linked to that employee.

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 vendor or employee. Transactions created for this vendor or employee will be tagged with this form. To remove the 1099 status for an employee, select None.
Default 1099 box	Select the default box which to which transactions for this vendor 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 vendor or employee. You might also want to enter values for prior years. You obtain these balances from your old accounting system. To enter YTD balances for this year, accept the default date of this year found in the Initial Values for Year dropdown list. To enter values for a prior year, select one of the prior years available in the dropdown list. Then, enter the starting YTD balances in the blank fields. 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 employee (which can be different from the entire amount paid to that employee year 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 employee 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, vendors in subordinate entities are assigned entity-specific initial amounts, even if they use the same employee. If not selected, initial amounts for all employees and all entities are entered at the top-level entity.
