Help with a 1099 misc for a contractor I paid prior to starting Payroll

[C3rp3nt3r]

The title of this thread has been edited from the original: 1099 misc

I started payroll in June. I have a couple payments to a contractor prior to starting payroll. I am now past the date to add these payments to payroll, so they are not included in the 1099 misc square has generated.  Is there a way to prevent Square from issuing the 1099, and I wil issue a correct one myself, or should I issue an additionaL 1099 listing the income not entered into payroll?

Thanks

Ron

Hello @C3rp3nt3r!

I just checked in with the Payroll team and they confirmed that you'll need to submit a normal contractor payment and follow these steps:

1. Indicate the tax year as 2018 
2. Set the payment method to check.

Keep in mind you'll will have until 1/20/19 to record prior contractor payments for 2018.

The steps to submit a contractor payment here: Pay Contractors Through Square Payroll.

Thanks Helen, but payroll overview lists date deadlines, shows  1/8/19 as last date to run off-cycle payments. That makes me think I should issue a 1099 by hand for the two payments that didn't get entered into Square.

Helen, I went ahead and attempted to enter the old payments and it seems they are being accepted. Thanks.

Helen, I proceeded to enter the old contractor  payments and see a they were accepted. Thanks for your help.

Sorry Helen, a follow up:

I see  the 1099 misc had already been generated. Will Square generate a new one including the two payments recently entered?

Hey again @C3rp3nt3r, I'm sorry for this late reply!

If you submitted the payment on Sunday 1/20 by the 7pm PST cutoff time, the updated pay figures should have appeared on the 1099-MISC form on Monday (these forums usually update overnight). If you still need help with this give the Payroll Team a call or reply here to let me know!

Thanks Helen. Big help.
