I haven't seen the QB Desktop report so I wasn't sure what that report was like.

Actually it does matter if bills are included (not referring to "bill payments").  We are an accrual not cash based organization.  Our bills are not necessarily paid in the same year they are entered.  A 2017 December "bill" is paid in January 2018.  That "bill"should not be included in the 1099 for the calendar year 2017.  However our financial statements will recognize a bill in the month  in which it was entered.  That expense would show on the December 2017 financial in our books.

I believe the totals in the 1099 filing may include some of these bills but I can't be sure because I can't find a report to review the detail.

Also - We have consultants turning in original receipts for reimbursement (per Federal contract invoicing requirements).  We do not want these expenditures included in the consultants'1099.

The 1099 "process"reports show a name and the total included in Box 7.  There is no review detail.  That was where I was referring to and I assume is what you were referring to.

QBO makes you back-flip for the easy stuff.
