Can I run vendor checks for the new calendar year if I have not yet run the 1099 process?

Yes, you can run vendor checks for the new calendar year.  The system uses check dates when processing for 1099s and only checks dated for the 1099 reporting year will be included.

How can I be sure I have all of the 1099 Vendors set up correctly in the system before I start the 1099 process?

Run the 1099 Vendor Report (Purchasing, Vendor, 1099 Vendors) and compare this to the W-9 forms you should have on file for your 1099 vendors. The 1099 Vendor report will show Vendor Name, 1099 Type, Social Security Number/Tax Number, 1099 Amount, and Calendar Year to Date Purchases for each vendor that is flagged as a 1099 vendor.

  NOTE:  It is recommended that you update your W-9s once each year.

What do my printer settings need to be for printing my 1099s?

Your printer needs to be set for 10 characters per inch and 6 lines per inch.  Note:  For Tally printers only, you will also need to set the page length to 75.

On the Vendor Maintenance screen there is only one space for keying in the 1099 vendor type.  What if the vendor has more than one type of money paid to them during the year?

The 1099 type on this screen is just their default type.  You don't need more than one type keyed here.

You can also key in the type of money being paid to a vendor by invoice as these vendors are paid throughout the year on the first screen of adding an invoice.

Can you have an invoice paid to a 1099 vendor that isn't supposed to be part of their 1099 totals? 

Yes, you can flag the items on the second screen of the invoice to be included in the 1099 amount or not.  There is a flag of 1-Yes or 2-No on each line item for 1099 amount flag.  In the example below, line 1 is not a 1099 amount, but line 2 is a 1099 amount.  You could have one invoice that has no 1099 amounts on it or one that is all 1099 or one like the example with both.

On the Scan Paid Invoices step, how do I know which amount selection to use?

       

If you choose A. 1099 Amount, the system will only use invoice amounts that were flagged as 1099 throughout the tax year.  Invoice line items that were not flagged as 1099 amounts will not be included and invoices for vendors not flagged as 1099 vendors at the beginning of the year will not be included.

If you choose B. Invoice Amount, the system will use the total invoice amount on all invoices that have been paid to a vendor regardless of the 1099 flag.

If you choose C. Check Amount, the system will use the total of all checks paid to a vendor regardless of the 1099 flag.
