I appreciate you for joining us here in the Community, @AmandaBlue.

You can add your vendor as a contractor if you'd like to track their 1099 payment. 

Here's how:

1. Go to the Payroll menu, then choose Contractors.
2. Click Add a contractor
3. Enter your contractor’s info, or select the Email this contractor checkbox so they can fill it out.
4. Once done, choose Add contractor.

Now that you entered vendor as a contractor, you need to start tracking their payments. Let me show you how:

1. Select the Expenses menu and choose Vendors.
2. Choose the vendor you want to track and open their profile.
3. Click Edit.
4. Select and check the Track payments for 1099 checkbox.
5. Once done, click Save.

For more detailed steps, you can check out this article: Set up contractors and track them for 1099s in QuickBooks

QuickBooks will start tracking all of its payments. When you're ready to file your 1099s, you can easily add the tracked payments to the form.

I'm also sharing this link on how to prepare and file your 1099s during tax season.
