Enter State IDs

For each state with vendors to whom you must send 1099 forms, you must enter your employer’s state tax identification number for that state.

The state ID number displays in Box 17 of the 1099. These are the same as the state IDs used in Form W-2 Processing. If you use multiple companies, you must enter state employer IDs for each company in your enterprise.

To enter state identification numbers:

1. On the Navigation menu, click Accounting > Form 1099 Processing.
2. On the toolbar of the Form 1099 Processing form, click State IDs.
3. On the State ID List dialog box, click Insert.
4. In the State field, select a state.
5. In the Employer’s State I.D. field, enter your employer ID number for the state.
6. Complete steps 3 through 5 for each state in which you have vendors that require 1099s and click Close.
