Intuit created this contractor tab, but in reality there is no difference between a contractor and a vendor other than whether or not they require a 1099 at year end

I can enter the W9 information but QB will not let me create 1099s unless the vendor or contractor has entered their information themselves. I can't get some of them to enter, they just sent me a copy of their W9. How can I create 1099s for them? It just ways waiting for info and won't let me process.

Good to see you in the Community, @Bethf.

You can create 1099s for your Vendor/Contractors by manually updating their information using the W9 as what @Rustler said. Non-employees are categorized in Box 7 since they are Vendors/Contractors.

You can update their information by going to the Vendor menu.

Here's how:

Go to the Vendors menu and then select Vendors.
Click the vendor's name and next hit Edit.
Enter the Company, Complete name, Business ID No.(Tax ID No.), and address. (Note: please make sure that you follow the format indicated for tax ID)
Click Save.

There you can now prepare and file 1099s.

If you want to E-file with the 1099 E-File Service, use this article as your reference: E-file through the 1099 E-File Service (QuickBooks Online).

You can always get back through this post if there's anything else. I'll be glad to help. Take care!
