Troubleshoot: Resolve Missing or Incorrect 1099 Amounts

To jump directly to the step-by-step video tutorial, click here.

This article will help if you have Vendors who meet the minimum payment requirement ($600), but either a 1099 is not generated for them or their 1099 amount is incorrect. 

Important: 1099s are based on the payments (checks) generated from marked bills, not the unpaid bills. 

Check the Vendor Record

It is essential to identify if the Vendor itself has been marked to Print 1099s. 

1. First, navigate to Ledger and Payables > Vendors. 
2. Select Find Vendor to look up an existing Vendor's Record. 
3. Click 1099/Checks in the ribbon directly underneath the Vendor name.
4. Ensure the "Print 1099 for this Vendor" checkbox is checked.

Vendor 1099 Amount Adjustments  

If you started using ParishSOFT Accounting mid-year or earlier, any 1099 invoices issued before that date may not be reflected in your data. You may need to add an Adjustment Amount to the Vendor Record. 

1. Navigate to Ledger and Payables > Vendors. 
2. Select Find Vendor to search for existing Vendor Records.
3. Click Go to open up the Vendor Information.
4. In the banner below Vendor Information, select 1099/Checks. 
5. Scroll until you find the Adjusting Entries section. 
6. Enter the Year, Adjustment Amount, and the 1099 Amount as shown in the image below.

Check the Bill

If a vendor has certain payments that should be excluded from 1099 reporting, you can open those invoices and uncheck them individually.

1. Navigate to Ledger and Payables > Bills. 
2. Select Find Bill to search and open an existing Bill.
3. Select Go to open the Bill Information. 
4. To the far right on each line item, notice the 1099 column of checkboxes. 
5. Check the box for all line items that apply for 1099.

Note: Marking this Vendor as a 1099 Vendor at any time will update all vendor payments and include them in the 1099 amount. The system will warn you about this as you select the checkbox.
