Minimum reporting amount |
Type the minimum amount for which you want to produce a form. You can also enter it using the calculator. |
Vendor |
To file a 1099 MISC form for only one vendor, click the (more) button and select the vendor. |
Starting account number |
Enter a number to identify the first form that is filed. Ajera then increments this number by one on each subsequent 1099 form. If you file your 1099 forms in batches, start each batch with a unique number to eliminate duplicate account numbers (for example, enter 1001 for one batch and 2001 for another batch). If this field is blank, Ajera automatically enters 1 as the starting number. |
Short year |
Select this check box if you want to file 1099 MISC forms for only part of the calendar year. In the From and To fields, enter the date range for which you want to print the 1099 forms. |

- From the > Setup menu, click Company > Government Reporting > Form 1099-MISC > e-Filing option and click the Status button.
