Preparing and Printing Form 1099 at Year-End
Prepare and print form 1099 for year-end.
While Form W-2 reports wages, salaries, and tips, Form 1099 NEC (nonemployee compensation) reports miscellaneous income paid to independent contractors.
If you've paid an independent contractor $600 or more or royalties over $10 during a calendar year, you should print Form 1099 NEC for that vendor.
Any vendor with invoices marked as 1099 and paid in the selected tax year receives a 1099. If the vendor is marked as a 1099 vendor during setup, all invoices for that vendor are marked as 1099 purchases unless the 1099 option is cleared during invoice entry. For vendors not marked as a 1099 vendor, you can mark an invoice as a 1099 purchase during invoice entry. After entering invoices, you can edit a vendor's record to add or clear the 1099 option.
When generating Form 1099, ACS selects only those vendors with purchases totaling $600 or more. To see these vendors, you can print the YTD Purchases List. You can also include deactivated vendors or vendors paid less than $600 or royalties under $10.
Before preparing Form 1099, we suggest printing the YTD Purchases List and the Check/Invoice Cross Reference report to verify vendor totals. We also recommend printing the forms on blank paper first to check for errors.
