Trouble issuing 1099

Feb 06, 2009 7 Replies

I have a 1099 vender to whom I pay commission and reimbursable expenses. In my chart of accounts, I mapped Sales Commission as 1099 non-employee compensation. No matter how I map other payments made to her, I can't get them to assign to her 1099. Any ideas how to fix? I appreciate any help!


What does "No matter how I map other payments made to her," mean?

Did you also enable her as "eligible for a 1099" in the vendor profile? Did she also get more than $600 from you?

Yes, she is enabled as 1099 eligable so I assume the problem is with the way the payments to her were coded/categorized.

When you set up an account you can map the ccount to a tax line. The commissioned sales are mapped to 1099 MISC non-employee compensation. When I create a new account that pertains to her other payments I can map it as

1099 Misc but it still doesn't show up as such on the 1099 report.

You need to check 2 things:

a) enable the vendor as 1099 eligible b) map the accounts that you want to capture on the 1099. This is not done when the account is created. The Tax line has nothing to do with 1099 account mappings. Go into Edit>>Preferences>>Tax: 1099>>company preferences. Double check that the Sales Commsssion account is specified here. You can also check the mapping in the Print 1099/1096 wizard found under the Vendor menu.

Then go through the Print 1099s/1096 wizard. Steps 1 to 3 are designed to troubleshoot the account and vendor settings.

Now that Haskel has a clear explanation of what you said, Haskel can call upon his past experience to help you. Haskel does not like answering questions that are not crystal clear.

Your problem is simple. You are not mapping the general ledger accounts correctly to a 1099 code. If you want to map more than one general ledger account to a specific 1099 code for example #7 non-employee compensation then when assigning accounts you should scroll up the list of general ledger accounts to the "Multiple Accounts" selection. This invokes a new window that lets you assign multiple general ledger accounts to the 1099 code..

Thanks -- that seems to be the answer. I appreciate everyone's help who replied.
