Thank you for coming back to the QuickBooks Community, Dee125.
QuickBooks Desktop automatically tracks all contractor-related payments once you already enable the feature for 1099 payments in QBDT. If you haven't performed the procedure, you can follow the steps below:
- Select the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
- Select the Tax: 1099 menu. Then, select the Company Preferences tab.
- Select Yes in the Do you file 1099-MISC forms? section.
- When you're done, click OK to save your settings.
Once done, you can open this artilcle to see further steps so you can finish the process: Set up contractors and track them for 1099s.
After that, QuickBooks will start tracking all of their payments behind the scenes. When you're ready to file your 1099s, you can easily add the tracked payments to the form.
On the other hand, please know that when you print a bill in QBDT, all of the entered information including accounts should appear. Since only the expense account appears on the contractor's check stub, there are several possible explanations for this issue. You can view various troubleshooting steps for how to fix them by clicking this article: Fix printing issues in QuickBooks Desktop.
However, if the issue persists, you may open this article to view another instruction on how to resolve unexpected behavior when printing a contractor's entry: Verify and Rebuild Data in QuickBooks Desktop.
Lastly, you can refer to this article for instructions on how to print your 1099 depending on how you processed the form: Print your 1099 and 1096 forms.
