Thank you for posting here in the Community, @LisaTopp.

I appreciate you providing details about your concern. Allow me to share more details about your contractor who doesn't have a Social Security Number (SSN). 

If your contractor is a non-U.S. person, there's no need to send 1099 forms at all. You can input zeros as a temporary SSN. However, they need to accomplished the W-8BEN form. By this, the foreign contractor is confirming that he or she is not a U.S. person. Nevertheless, if your contractor has a Tax Identification Number or TIN, you can use this in creating and sending the 1099 form. 

Also, you can leave the identification number box empty if your contractor cannot provide his or her SSN nor TIN when the time of filling Forms 1099-MISC comes. But still submit the report to the IRS. They will send a notice stating that the number is missing. This notice must be sent along with a backup withholding notice and W-9 form to the subcontractor.

For more information about how to add contractors and track payments you make to them, please refer to this article link: Set up contractors and track them for 1099s in QuickBooks.
