How do I handle a MISC (cell phone expense reimbursement) to a 1099 contractor? Would like to add to their pay check.

Hello there, kentsimms.

Contractors and Employees have different forms and taxation in QuickBooks Online. 

If you're referring to the contractor, you can create a written check or bill payment for the cell phone expense reimbursement. 

But, if you're referring to an employee we can add a reimbursement type on the Pay type.

Here's how:

1. Go to Payroll, then Employees.
2. Choose an employee.
3. In the Pay types, click Edit.
4. Select + Another Reimbursement type.
5. Enter the information needed.
6. Click Save.

Here are some resources to learn about the most commonly asked questions regarding Form 1099s in QBO. The topics include 1099-NEC, 1099-MISC, and 1099-K:

• What is 1099, and do I need to file one?
• Which payments excluded from a 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC
