How do you uncheck box 2 on a 1099?

Welcome to the Community,

I'm here to share information about your missing commission amount in 1099.

Form 1099-NEC (box 2) is a report of sales totaling $5,000 or more of consumer products to a person on a buy-sell, a deposit-commission, or other commission basis for resale. If the 1099 is missing the commission amount, it is possible that the commission amount was less than $5,000.

Please note that only contractors who were paid over $600 in cash annually will receive a 1099. Contractors who didn't meet the threshold can be identified using the 1099 reports. Credit card payments are also excluded.

Also, when creating 1099s, QuickBooks uses the expense accounts you mapped to report 1099 transactions. If your amounts are off, you may want to review the contractor payment transactions and accounts associated with them.

For detailed information and steps, you can visit this article and follow Steps 2 and 3: Troubleshoot missing contractors or wrong amounts on 1099s.

Here's how to uncheck the Box 2 in 1099:

1. Go to the Payroll menu and select Contractors.
2. Click the Prepare 1099s button.
3. Tap Continue your 1099s.
4. Delete or change the account under Direct Sales Box 2 1099-NEC.
5. Hit Next.
6. Review the data, and then Next.
