For 2023 the amount shown on QB for the 1099s included nontaxable reimbursements for mileage for contractors. Is there a way to correct them before filing?

Glad to see you in Community, Dee.

There is a way to correct them in QuickBooks. Before we separate the nontaxable reimbursement, you need to identify and locate first who owns the expense receipts that have the nontaxable reimbursement. 

If you're reimbursing the expense, it's not a 1099 reportable. However, if the contractor keeps the expenses as its own, the total amount you'll pay them is called 1099 reportable.

Meanwhile, you can create a new expense account for the nontaxable reimbursement to correct them in QuickBooks. Let me show you how.

1. Go to the Gear icon and select Chart of Accounts.
2. Select New. Then, choose "Expenses" or "Other expense" as the Account Type and enter the Account details.
3. Click Save and Close.

After that, move the existing reimbursement transactions under the new account.

1. Select Expenses.
2. Filter the transactions to identify the contractor payments you need to edit.
3. Once you located the payment, click the dropdown menu. From there, you can choose to View/Edit the transaction or select the Category dropdown to choose a new account.

Please consult your accounting professional before making any changes to your account. If you do not have one, you can locate a professional using the following link: Find an accountant.
