For each Box on the 1099 form you must choose your account where the information will be found, to be included on the form. For example, if I pay subcontractors from my account “Sub Contractors” this is the account that has to be included in the account column.

Click on the right side of the account column and the drop down arrow will appear.  Choose your account or you can choose multiple accounts.
Click OK.
