How do I enter a 1099 or independent contractor into QuickBooks Online?

Answer 1

1. Once your logged into your QuickBooks account click on “Expenses” on the left hand side of the page.
2. At the top of the Expenses page you will need to click on “Vendors” and then click “New Vendor” on the right hand side of the page.
3. You will then be taken to the Vendor Information page. You can enter the information about the Vendor in the various fields on this page. You will want to make sure you check the “Track Payments” for 1099 box. This will track the payments made to the independent contract throughout the year so you can issue a 1099-MISC tax form at the end of the year.
4. Hit the save button and it will add the contractor to your list of Vendors

Once the 1099 or independent contractor has been added as a Vendor to your QuickBooks account you can pay them for their hours worked and/or track associated time for them for customer invoices.
