Resolution

To mask the vendor SSN/EIN on a 1099, you will need to replace the regular "Vendor SSN" variable on the 1099 layout.

1. Go to Setup / System Configuration / Layout Editor.
2. Click Layout / Open and then open the 20XX W2 and 1099 folder for the appropriate year.
3. Find and open the appropriate 1099 layout. For example, if you need to edit the Copy A of the 1099 DIV form, open the 1099DIVa.fly file.
4. Delete the <Vendor SSN> variable.
   
   
5. Go to Insert / Variable and select one of the other Vendor SSN variables and place it in the Recipient's Identification number box.
   
   
   
6. Click File / Save.
7. Repeat for any other 1099 layouts that need to be changed.
