I got W-9 from a contractor. How do I upload it instead of having them do so?

Hello there, @evgeny1.

To help make easier QuickBooks Online includes an option to invite contractors to fill out their form and sign them electronically inside an Intuit account. Let me guide you on how it works:

1. Go to the Workers tab then select Contractors.
2. Click Add a contractor.
3. Enter the contractor's name and email.
4. Make sure the box is checked to invite them to enter their information.
5. Hit Add contractor.

Then, we'll send your contractor an email inviting them to fill out and submit their W-9. They’ll either log in with an existing Intuit account or create a free account to securely share their tax info.

Once the contractor submits their W-9, you can see their profile in both the Contractors tab and the Vendors tab, Also, you can view and download the W-9 in the Documents tab.

For more information about the process, check this article: Invite a contractor to add their own 1099 tax info.

I've provided these articles on how to make forms 1099 MISC in QuickBooks Online and file them with the IRS:

• Prepare and file 1099s
• E-file through the 1099 E-File Service (QuickBooks Online)

Feel free to let me know if you have additional questions. I'm here to help. Take care.

Your answer did not answer the OP question

You can not upload it and have the data entered, and actually the requirement is to have a signed, under penalties of perjury,  w-9 on file.

Bring up the vendor/contractor record and manually enter the tax id number, there is nothing else that matters as far as the vendor record is concerned. Well assuming you have the vendor check marked as being eligible for the 1099
