Prepare form 1099 (all variations)

Error: there are no 1099 forms to print

Scenario

You may get the following error message when you try to print Form 1099.
Error message
There are no 1099 forms to print.

Cause

The likely causes are:
  • There are no transactions for the vendor
  • Printing thresholds prevent printing.

Solution 1: no transactions for the vendor

To populate Form 1099, you need to do one of the following:
  • Select
    Actions
    , then
    Enter Transactions
     and enter transactions for the vendor with a 1099 distribution; or
  • Select
    Actions
    , the
    Edit Payroll Tax Forms
     and override the1099 form manually.
note
The amounts you enter on the
Distributions
 tab after you select
Setup
 then
Vendors
 will not flow to Form 1099.

Solution 2: printing thresholds

The threshold is an amount below which you do not want to print 1099s for a client. A threshold of
0.00
 means you've set no threshold, and 1099s will print with any non-zero amount on them.There is a hierarchy of 3 thresholds:
  • For the global threshold, select
    Actions
    ,
    Process Payroll Tax Forms,
     then
    Print Options
    .
    note
    Alternatively, from the Edit Payroll Tax Forms screen, select
    File
    , then
    Process client forms
    .
  • For the client-level threshold, select
    Setup
    ,
    Clients
    , the
    Payroll Taxes
     tab, then
    Additional Information
    .
    note
    This client-level threshold trumps the global threshold.
  • For the transaction-level threshold, select
    Actions
    ,
    Enter Transactions
    , a transaction with 1099 distributions, then the ellipsis button.
    note
    The transaction-level threshold trumps the global and client-level thresholds.
tip
You can also use either of the following methods to override printing thresholds:
  • Select
    Setup
    ,
    Vendors
    , the
    1099 Properties
     tab, then mark the
    Always Print Form
     checkbox.
  • Select
    Actions
    ,
    Payroll Tax Forms
    ,
    Print Options
    , then the
    Ignore per item threshold overrides
     checkbox.
