Set up an employee to receive a 1099 form instead of a W-2

For 2019 and earlier, Accounting CS supports the printing of only 1099-MISC forms with Box 7 for non-employee compensation type employees. For 2020 and later, Accounting CS supports the printing of only Form 1099-NEC for non-employee compensation type employees.
Follow these steps to print Form 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC for an employee.
  1. Select

  2. Set up a

    , then
    Employees
    .
  4. Add an employee with

    This makes non-employee compensation pay items available for this employee in the Payroll Items tab. It also makes the employee available for 1099 processing.
