Set Up 1099 Boxes Based On an Existing Year

A valid default 1099 calendar year must be entered in Accounts Payable Options to perform 1099 reporting. A calendar year is invalid if 1099 boxes are not set up for that year. Use this procedure to set up 1099 boxes for a new calendar year based on an existing valid year.
