If you’ve paid 1099 contractors outside of payroll, you can add their wage history to your account’s payroll data for this tax year to ensure a 1099-NEC form is generated at yearend.
Make sure your contractors are added to your payroll account first by visiting the “Employees” Tab at the top of your payroll account.
Once your contractors are added to the account, you can process an “extra payroll” for the total amount each contractor has been paid so far this tax year. Please be sure to select “paper check” as the pay option to ensure your contractors are not paid again.
