The Dropdown Default Box No. List is missing the Box #s in the Dropdown because the 1099 processing year in
AP Options is not set to year 2020 or higher. The NEC form was implemented for year 2020 and higher so there are no Default Box No. for 2019 and prior.
To process 1099-NEC for year 2020+ you must be on Sage 100 2020.1, 2019.4 and 2018.10 and higher. Lower versions will not be able to implement 1099-NEC filings.
To Correct:
- Select AP, Setup, AP Options, Main Tab
- ***Manually Change the 1099 Default Calendar Year to 2020 or higher and select OK. (This Creates the record for 2020 with the default box fields.)
- Return to Vendor Maintenance, Additional Tab,
- Select 1099 Form, Vendor Type, Default Form Nonemployee Comp, Social Security No, then select dropdown box to see boxes available. Chose box then select 1099 History for year 2020 to see and populate boxes manually if needed.
***Setting the default year can also be done after processing 1099's for prior year and select Yes to "Do you want to increment the Default 1099 Calendar Year field in the Accounts Payable Options window to the next calendar year?"
NOTE: When importing Vendors into the AP_Vendor and wanting to populate the 1099 NEC form section, the AP Options will also need to be set for year 2020 or higher since they were not used in year 2019 and prior.
*NOTE: If the boxes and 1099 history grids are blank, change 1099 calendar year back to 2020 in AP Options and run 1099 Tax reporting then exit to get the prompt to increment the year.
**NOTE: Last Resort - Rename the SY_1099Setup.m4t file in the MAS_System folder. Copy the same file from another installation (SAME Version) into the MAS_System folder. Reselect year in AP options to populate the file with the current year form/boxes. Reconcile AP reports and 1099 history for the year to insure all 1099-NECs are correct.
