When paying 1099 Employees as Independent Contractors … should this information be registered using Payslip or should it be registered as a Purchase Invoice? I would like access to a report showing the collective totals paid to each individual such as the Payslip Summary Report. But if I pay them with a Purchase Invoice I am not certain how to access such a report to include each contractors name and totals. ---

You should be using `Purchase Invoices` tab to record payable invoices from independent contractors. There are [legal reasons](http://www.forbes.com/sites/robertwood/2012/11/15/new-crackdown-on-using-independent-contractors/) for it. So to analyze contractors, you will need some sort of supplier report. Do you just need to see total invoiced amounts in specified period(s)? ---

Lubos … I would like to see as much detail as possible … not only specified periods of time … but I would like to see each independent contractors name … the names of the jobs which they provided service on … the hours / rates / gas allowance / bonuses etc. As much info as possible. What do I need to do to set this up inside of my manager? I am using the desktop version. Thank you! ---

I had read the Guide and knew we pay Suppliers immediately upon receiving an Invoice, so I had not implemented Accounts Payable. If I understand correctly from this post, we DO need to use Accounts Payable in order to get information for 1099 forms? ---

Did you ever get a reply to this question? I need the same thing. We dont have “employees” all we deal with are subcontractors. Im trying this software to see if I can DROP quickbooks. ---
