Let's make sure you'll be able to map accounts for 1099, Riverside69.

Normally, you'll have to make sure vendors are eligible for 1099 for the names to be added to the list and for you to map the accounts. To do this, follow the steps below: 

1. Go to the Vendors tab, then click on Vendor Center.
2. Tap on the vendor's name.
3. Go to the Tax Settings section, then mark the box beside the Vendor eligible for 1099 section.
4. Click OK.
5. Repeat the steps for other vendors that are eligible for 1099.

Once done, when mapping accounts, ensure to either choose the Show all accounts or Show 1099 accounts option. However, if it's still defaulting to Misc Box 15 State Tax Withheld, you can resort to your chart of accounts to fix the odd behavior.
