Setting Up Independent Contractors for 1099 Forms

QuickBooks gives you the mechanism for tracking amounts paid to independent contractors so you can produce the necessary 1099-MISC form.

Click the Vendor Center icon on the toolbar, then click the Vendors tab to display the Vendor List.

Double-click a vendor to whom you think you need to issue a 1099 form (or press Ctrl+N to set up a new vendor).

Click the Additional Info tab.

Check this box to indicate the vendor is eligible for a 1099 form.

Enter a tax ID number for the vendor.

Click OK.
