Hi there, @melinda-conn-cov.

 Allow me to share some insight about preparing a 1099 for a person with a foreign address.

The contractor has to sign the W-8BEN form so you will have a justification that the contractor is a non-US citizen.

In the meantime, the best way is to get in touch with the IRS to make sure that you will be filing the correct form at year-end. 

Additionally, here are some resources about the tax setup for foreign employees in QuickBooks Online for reference:

• Exemption status of foreign employees with particular visa types
• Set up Nonresident Alien (NRA) tax withholding for foreign employee

If you have any other questions. I'm always around to help!
