Contractor: Add a new contractor

You can pay contractors just like you pay employees. To pay a contractor, you'll need a tax ID number from them.

To add a contractor:

  1. Go here.
    (Or click the Employees tab.)
  2. Click Add a Contractor.
  3. If you just want to pay a contractor, click Make a contractor payment. (If you need to file a 1099-MISC form for a contractor, choose the File 1099-MISC option.)
  4. Follow the steps on the Add a Contractor page.
  5. If you have paid the contractor earlier in the current year, be sure to select the checkbox and enter the total amount you previously paid them.
  6. Click OK.
