When paying contractors (direct deposit), why doesn't the account default / pre-fill based on the vendor's default expense account already set up in their profile?

The expense account selected in your contractor's profile will auto-fill only for regular vendor transactions, not on contractor payments, Kingo.

The regular transactions include Expenses, Checks, Bills, and other options listed under the Vendor column when you click the +New button. With this, you can only select the expense account manually each time you set up your contractor's payments.

To further manage your contractors, you can run a 1099 Transaction Detail report to confirm payment accuracy and clarify eligible entries before filling out 1099 forms.

Here's how to run the report:
 

1. In the left-hand panel, select Reports.
2. Use the search bar to find and enter the 1099 Transaction Detail Report.
3. Customize the date range to fit your needs, then click Run Report to generate the specific details you want to review.
