QB online - 1099's are including expense accounts that I did not map

Hi there, @ADN70.

The reason those expense accounts are showing in the tracked for 1099 report, even though you don't map them, is that one or more of your contractors have transactions coded to those accounts.

For example, if you create an expense transaction for a specific contractor under a different expense account and then create another transaction using the airfare account, both transactions will appear on the 1099 tracking page as long as the total expenses exceed the $600 threshold.

For my scenario, I created two sample expenses for my contractor. For the first expense, I selected Amortization; for the second, I used Advertising & Marketing.

When preparing my 1099s, I specifically mapped only the Advertising & Marketing category. However, on the tracking page, the total amount includes both expenses. If I click on the total, the Amortization expense appears even though it wasn't included in my mapping.

With that, there's no way to delete your expense account showing in the report. However, if you really want to remove that from your 1099 tracking, you can refer to your accountant to change those specific expense accounts showing in your report.
