Hey there, @kelleherk.
I have some insight to provide you regarding your 1099 forms. While the accounts do need to be selected one by one, the good news is, QuickBooks will remember your selections for as long as you're filing these forms in QBO. Try the steps below to accomplish this:
Mapping accounts for the 1099-MISC
- From QuickBooks Online, navigate to the Expenses tab and the Vendors section.
- Click Prepare 1099's. Select to Begin (or Continue) your 1099's.
- Depending on where you left off, either follow the on-screen instructions or click Back until you're on Step 2.
- Check the box for the account you're filing through, and in the dropdown menu (▼) select each account you need to include on your 1099 forms.
This information is also available from our guide on assigning accounts to the 1099 as well the video tutorial here:
As you suggested, doing this populates these account's information onto the 1099 Transaction Detail report. This way you can stay informed about the amounts you're filing. Please keep in touch with me here should you have any additional questions or concerns, I'm always up to talk QuickBooks. Thanks for coming to the Community and have a great day.
