Update existing 1099 transaction data with an import file
Use an import template to update existing 1099 information in bulk. Separate import templates are available for employees and vendors.
After you import, run the 1099 report and verify that vendors, employees, transactions, forms, boxes, and amounts appear as expected.
Supported and unsupported updates
Before preparing the import file, review which updates the template supports.
| Supported | This import does not create or update the following information |
|---|---|
Update existing 1099 transactions to a different form or box | New transactions. This import only updates existing transactions. Instead, set up your vendor or employee for 1099 treatment, then import transactions. |
Apply a 1099 form and box to transactions that are not currently tagged for 1099 treatment | Imported transactions that are already paid. Instead, manually update or reclassify these transactions. |
Update a vendor or employee 1099 name | 1099 opening balances. Instead, use an opening balances import template. |
Change or remove the default 1099 form and box for a vendor or employee | Transactions with manually assigned 1099 information.. This includes transactions manually tagged for 1099 treatment when the vendor or employee is not set up for 1099 treatment, and transactions whose 1099 form or box was manually overridden. Instead, reclassify these transactions. |
| Remove 1099 treatment from existing transactions |
Common updates
Leave fields blank to keep the data the same.
For example, you need to update the vendor or employee 1099 name. Specify the name and ID and enter the 1099 name in the NAME1099 column. Leave the rest of the information blank.

Enter the correct DEFAULT1099TYPE and DEFAULT1099BOX. Enter the value 'Y' in the UPDATETRANS column. Include the date range.

If you have a vendor or employee you forgot to tag any 1099 transactions for, use the UPDATETRANS column and enter the value as 'A'. Enter the correct form type, box, and the date range in which to update transactions.

Say that you want to remove the 1099 status of a vendor or employee and all their tagged 1099 transactions within the last calendar year.
Enter 'Y' for UPDATETRANS and 'NULL' for the DEFAULT1099TYPE and DEFAULT1099BOX. Enter the from and to dates.
After import, the vendor or employee is no longer set-up for 1099 treatment and their associated transactions are no longer tagged for 1099 treatment.

Enter the correct name in the NAME1099 column. Leave the rest of the fields blank.
To remove a 1099 name, enter the value 'NULL' in the NAME1099 column.
