Does anyone know how to hide boxes 17 and 18 on the 1099 forms? It's odd because they only show for certain vendors and all of my specifications are the same for my 1099 vendors.Help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Don't think of it as 'hiding' these boxes. Look in your vendor set up and make sure you haven't specified a state. You should click on the 1099 Distribution button and inside you'll see a 'state' column. That should be blank. Susan

I did make sure the state column was blank, however, there are still certain vendors that have boxes 17 & 18 filled out on the 1099 report.

I have the same problem - but I didn't change the state to a blank until after I saw it on the 1099's. I must have something to do with the change being done AFTER the checks were cut.

You have to go into the individual invoices as well and see if the invoices/payments were coded for boxes 17 and/or 18 when the check was cut. If they were coded that way and shouldn't have been, then you have to make a 1099 adjustment in the vendor record....there are knowledge base articles on this subject....

What you have to do is find the vendor that has items in box 17 & 18 and do 2 adjustments for the 1099's. First you will have to make a negative adjustment for the amount with the items in box 17 & 18, and then do a positive adjustment with box 17 & 18 blank.

from the knowledge base: Solution Title: How to edit 1099 box 18, the 1099 state income amounts in Accounts Payable 7 1. In Records, Vendors, open the vendor record 2. On the Vendor tab, click 1099 Adjustments button or click Vendor, Enter 1099 Adjustments from the menu bar 3. Enter an Effective Date column Note: The effective date determines which year the adjustment will be included. 4. Select a 1099 box number to adjust 5. Select the current (incorrect) state from the drop-down menu 6. Enter a negative amount (e.g.,-100) to decrease the total in the incorrect state * Enter a positive number to increase the 1099 amount * Enter a negative number (e.g.,-100) to decrease the 1099 amount 7. In the next row, enter the same effective date, 1099 box number as in the first row 8. Select the correct state or leave the State box blank if the amount should be federal 9. Enter the positive amount to increase the total for the correct state Note: The net of the two lines should equal zero the total 1099 amount for the vendor remains the same. 10. Click OK

OK, I will try that. Thank you for your assistance!
