I did some testing and if you pay a Contractor via an Expense on a Credit Card, or a Bill Payment via a Credit Card, then they don't show on the 1099-NEC for 2020.  If you pay them via an Expense associated with a Bank Account or a Bill Payment associated with a Bank Account or Check, then they will show on the 1099 report.  So you need to create Bills or Checks, and pay from a checking account.  If you did pay on a credit card, still pay the bill from a checking account and then do a transfer from that checking account to your credit card account.  This is a work around, but it facilitates what QB is looking for.  I've created a Dummy Bank account to pay out of for this purpose called 1099 Transfer so i can pay from this fake account and then zero it out against the credit card to reconciliation purposes.
