Last year we used the company name for a vendor, but then received a notice from the IRS that the 1099 was not processed due to the name being incorrect. Turns out QB ran the 1099 under the Vendor Name, which is different than the name on their W9, so they never received a 1099. 

QB does NOT recognize the company name - QB only recognizes the VENDOR name when you print the 1099. 

Besides doing a search every. single. time. to find a business when their tax ID is under their actual name, how is anyone supposed to find a vendor to enter a bill?

Example: W9 lists Joe Smith as the Name on line 1, but Concrete Solvents under line 2 as the Business Name. 

Entering the Business name Concrete Solvents in QB Customers is how it's billed - but the ONLY way to find that name is __________??? Please fill un
