Are you having trouble generating a 1099 for one of your vendors, seeing incorrect amounts listed on the 1099 report, or getting a misaligned print of the form? Below are a couple of suggestions as to what could be causing these issues.
Why isn’t one of my vendors showing up on my 1099 form?
It is possible that the eligible expenses did not meet the amount threshold for the 1099 category and have been filtered from the report. On the Form 1099 report, under Report Layout, uncheck the box for “Amounts Over IRS Threshold” to see all tagged expenses for all vendors.
If you are still missing a vendor on your 1099 report, it is possible you did not yet add them to the 1099 Vendor list. You can view and manage this from Lists under the Contacts section.
If you do not see your 1099 vendor on the list, click the green plus (+) button to add a contact. Enter the contact’s name. Then click “Save & Close” if that is the only contact you need to add, or click “Save & Add” if you have more contacts to add to the list.
The incorrect amount is showing on a 1099 for one of my vendors.
If the incorrect amount is appearing for one of your 1099 vendors, it is most likely because expense accounts are incorrectly mapped out in the 1099 tag setting. You can fix this from the 1099 Tags page under Accounts
You can cross-reference this page with the “Expense by Payee” report for your organization to verify whether the accounts properly match the 1099 tags.
My form is not aligned when printing.
Although there is not an option to adjust the margins for the 1099's; we have tested to ensure that these are formatted to align with the official 1099 forms. A few things we would recommend checking if you are experiencing an issue with print alignment:
-
Make sure you're opening and printing the PDF file in a PDF reading/viewing program (e.g., Preview, Adobe Reader, etc.) and NOT in the browser.
-
Make sure that you do not have any scaling or zoom options applied when printing (e.g. Fit to Page or Scale to Fit).
-
Print one page of the PDF on regular paper and hold up against the form to check alignment before printing on the actual form (to help save your forms!)
