1099-MISC categories

The following categories represent boxes 1 through 14 on the 1099-MISC form. QuickBooks tracks amounts for the following boxes:

Box 1: Rents

Box 2: Royalties

Box 3: Other Income

Box 4: Federal Tax Withheld

Box 5: Fishing Boat Proceeds

Box 6: Medical Payments

Box 7: Nonemployee Compensation

Box 8: Substitute Payments

Box 9: Direct Sales

Box 10: Crop Insurance Proceeds

Box 13: Excess Golden Parachute

Box 14: Gross Proceeds to Attorney

Many businesses only need to track nonemployee compensation (Box 7). If you're uncertain which categories apply to your business, visit the IRS Web site and search for Instructions for Form 1099-MISC.

Note: QuickBooks will print Form 1099-MISC, but does not handle other types such as Form 1099-INT or Form 1099-DIV.
