General - Payroll

  • Effective for tax year 2020 and later, the IRS now requires that non-employee compensation be reported on the new Form 1099-NEC instead of on Form 1099-MISC. Accordingly, we are taking actions to provide support for the new Form 1099-NEC. (Ideas Incubator #847) Details
    • Vendors that are set up to use the 1099-MISC on the 1099 Properties tab of the Setup > Vendors screen have been updated to have the equivalent 1099-NEC boxes, when applicable.
    • Vendors that are set up to use the 1099-MISC on the Distributions tab of the Setup > Vendors screen have been updated to use the equivalent 1099-NEC boxes, when applicable.
    • Vendor transactions dated 2020 or later that have 1099-MISC box distributions on them have been updated to use the equivalent 1099-NEC boxes, when applicable.

    For more details on what vendors and transactions have been automatically updated, see 1099-MISC vendor and transaction update for v.2020.3.2.
