Troubleshooting printing 1099 statements

Situation 1: $0.00 is displayed for a vendor in the 1099 Vendor Information window.

Solution 1: No payments have been made to the vendor since the vendor was designated a 1099 vendor. Only payments made to the vendor after the vendor is set up as a 1099 vendor will be tracked for the 1099 statement. If you set up a vendor as a 1099 vendor in the middle of the payroll year, for instance -- 1099 statements are based upon the payroll (calendar) year -- any payments made to the vendor before you set up the vendor as a 1099 vendor won't appear. To calculate the amount, you may wish to use the Vendor payments report. Customize the report for the period in the calendar year previous to the date you set up the vendor as a 1099 vendor and add that amount to the 1099 statement. If you wish to learn how to add those payments to the 1099 statement, see To enter or change amounts that print on a 1099 statement.

Solution 2: 1099 statement amounts are based upon the current payroll year entered for the company file. If the payroll year displayed in the General Payroll Information window isn't the year for which you want to print the 1099 statements, you must change the payroll year to the current year by performing the Start a New Payroll Year process. To learn how to do this, see Closing a payroll year and starting a new one.
