It's great to have you here, @Andyjr2683.

@Rustler is correct! Allow me to share more details on how you can send 1099 to your contractor who doesn't have a Social Security Number (SSN).

Yes, you can enter zeros as temporary SSN. If your contractor is a non-U.S. person, there's no need to send 1099 form at all. However, you'll need them to accomplished the W-8BEN form.  By signing Form W-8BEN, the foreign contractor is certifying that he or she is not a U.S. person. On the other hand, if your contractor has a Tax Identification Number or TIN, you can use this in creating and sending the 1099 form. 

If your contractor cannot provide his or her SSN nor TIN by the time of filling your Forms 1099-MISC, you should leave the identification number  box empty, but still submit the report to the IRS. They will be the one who 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.
