1099 Reasons to Love January

Alicia breaks down everything accounting professionals need to know about filing 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC forms in QuickBooks Online for 2026. She covers who qualifies for a 1099, which payment methods require filing, how to use QBO's Contractor Center and automated filing tools, and why the $600 threshold is finally changing to $2,000 in 2027. Alicia also shares practical workarounds for common issues like material reimbursements, state filing requirements, and what to do when contractors don't return their W-9 forms.
