Run the 1099 report

Before you print or file 1099 forms, run the 1099 report to:

  • Verify that suppliers and employees are set up with the correct 1099 form and box.

  • Review taxable amounts to make sure they are correct.

What does not appear in the report:
  • Suppliers and employees that are not set up for 1099 treatment.

  • Amounts under the minimum reporting amounts as defined by the IRS do not appear in the 1099 report. For example, if you have $200 for a supplier for the 1099-MISC form and the minimum reporting amount is $600 for that year, the data does not appear in the report.

Having trouble? Go to the 1099 report section in Troubleshoot 1099s.

Before you begin

Make sure that suppliers and employees:

  • Are set up for 1099 treatment.

    Only suppliers and employees tagged as 1099-able appear in this report.

  • Are assigned the correct default 1099 form and box.

  • Have the correct 1099 names.

Verify 1099 names and the 1099 form and box by creating a custom view on the Supplier or Employee list.

 

Run the 1099 report

  1. Go to Accounts Payable > All > Reports > 1099 > 1099 report.
  2. In the Time period section, either:
    • Use one of the pre-defined reporting periods from the Reporting period and As of date fields. Or,
    • 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. As a best practice, run the 1099 report for either suppliers or employees (do not run it for both at the same time).

    In the Filters section, determine the suppliers or employees for whom to run a 1099 report. You can Select all or define a range of suppliers or employees using the From /To dropdowns.

  4. Select how to group data using the Group by option.

    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 associated 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.

    By default, credit card payments appear on the report for all forms except the 1099-MISC.

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

  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.

  12. In the Format section, select either Portrait or Landscape for the Page orientation.
  13. Use Sort by to sort numerically by Supplier ID/Employee ID, or sort alphabetically by Supplier Name/Employee Name.
  14. Optionally, enter a title, subtitle, and footer text for your report.
  15. Select View

Select Customize to return to the main report page and adjust report results. To view a report that's been processed and stored, go to My Stored Reports.
