QuickBooks is Not Creating 1099 for My Vendor

QuickBooks is Not Creating 1099 for My Vendor, In the United States, citizens are liable to fill up Form 1099, one of the IRS tax forms, for their sources of income to be recorded. As a result, the accounting software solutions that are used by different organizations in the nation need to have 1099 created for all the vendors it is dealing with.
