Hi Magwitch,

 

Your husband can enter his SSN in the company settings. That way, the number will just auto-populate when you prepare 1099 forms for his sub contractors on his behalf.

  1. Click the Gear icon.
  2. Choose Accounts and Settings.
  3. Choose the Company bar and click the Company name section.
  4. Select SSN and enter the SS number in the field provided.
  5. Click Save, and then Done

 

If you have an active payroll (trial or paid), you'll only see EIN in the company setting. QuickBooks thinks that you have employees and you have EIN because you have payroll. If your husband accidentally included the payroll feature in QuickBooks, he can cancel it to show the SSN option back in the company setting.
