Let me help you set up again your accounts for 1099s, tsedtal.

Updates may have defaulted back to the original 1099-Misc mapping. Make sure your payroll is up-to-date.

Once all set, change all the 1099-Misc accounts to "omit these payments from 1099". After making the changes, you should be able to update the 1099-NEC accounts.

Also, if you need to determine what payments are excluded, here's what you can do: Learn which payments should be excluded from the 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC forms.

Here's also a helpful resource you can read in case you'd encounter issues when preparing 1099: 1099 E-File: QuickBooks Desktop setup, troubleshooting, & FAQs.
