Training Tidbit: With 1099s, is there a way to have an additional name print as the Doing Business As name for a vendor?

Yes, to enter an additional name for a vendor to print as the “Doing Business As” (or DBA) name on the 1099, follow these steps:

  • In the Vendor File on the Miscellaneous tab, enter the additional name to print on the 1099 for the vendor in the Additional Recipient Name field.  Do not enter “DBA” as the system prints that automatically on the 1099.
  • In the 1099 Name Format field, select the correct format of fields to print as the name on the 1099, being sure to select one that includes DBA (for “Doing Business As”) and Additional Recipient Name.  For example, select First Middle Last Suffix DBA Additional Recipient Name to print the first and last name of the vendor on the first line on the 1099 form and the additional recipient name on the second line.
  • Save the changes.

After completing the steps noted above, when generating the 1099s, the additional recipient name will appear on the 1099 for the vendor in the specified position.
