Managing vendors in QuickBooks Online

A vendor is an individual or a business that you pay. Vendors can be 1099 contractors, a utility company, or a business you purchase products from. Similar to customers, you can keep track of all vendor information, such as the company's address, telephone number, email address, and federal tax ID number for 1099 reporting. 1099 reporting is required for contractors who you have paid $600 or more to within a calendar year. In this section, we will show you how to add new vendors, edit existing vendors, and inactivate vendors in QuickBooks.
