This response is not helpful, because then you have to memorize which Vendors should be checked for next year, then re-check them. There should be an option for revising one 1099-Misc without having to undo all the hard work you've done all year to determine who is a 1099-Misc vendor and who is exempt.

Your plan might work for those with 2 or 3 Vendors, but in the real world there are hundreds.
