Why are my contractor direct deposits not showing on their 1099s?

Thanks for reaching out, @routechasers.

To begin with, contractor direct deposits may not appear on a 1099 if the vendor profile isn’t set up for 1099 tracking, the vendor is marked as inactive, or if the contractor was paid less than the $600 annual cash threshold.

For proper tracking, ensure that the vendor profile for the contractor has the Track payments for 1099 option enabled. Here’s how:

1. Navigate to Expenses & Bills, and select Vendors.
2. Click the specific vendor and choose Edit.
3. In the Additional Info section, check the box for Track payments for 1099.
4. Click Save.
    

Also, make sure that the expense accounts for the direct deposits are selected during the 1099 account mapping process.
