I completely understand how frustrating it must be to navigate these challenges, especially with the recent IRS changes and the need for accurate reporting, Piper. Let's ensure your threshold is not set to zero that's why vendors with $0.00 are appearing on the report.

Here's how:

1. Go to Edit at the menu bar.
2. Choose Preferences from the drop-down button.
3. Select Tax:1099 from the left panel and to to Company Preferences.
4. Select the link under If you want to map your accounts to boxes on form 1099-NEC.
5. Click Yes. Then, click the Show IRS 1099-NEC filling thresholds link on the Map vendor payment accounts window.

Also, there's another possible reason why your vendor shows up even though they aren't eligible for the threshold.

Here's how to check it:

1. From the Vendors menu, choose Vendor Center.
2. On the Vendor Center window, double-click the vendor name.
3. On the left pane, select the Tax Settings tab. 
4. Make sure the Vendor eligible for 1099 box is blank. 
5. Click OK. 

Regarding the other two questions, I suggest sending a feedback request to our Product developer team. Our product development team will review it and may consider adding this functionality in future updates.

1. Go to the Help menu.
2. Choose the Send Feedback Online option
3. Select Product Suggestion from the list. A pop-up window will appear.
4. Enter your feedback suggestion into the provided field.
5. Click the Send Feedback button to submit your suggestion.
