Updating Contractor Payment History

If you have made a payment to contractor this year outside of using Patriot Software, you should update the contractor’s payment history in Patriot Software so all amounts paid will be included on their Form 1099. You can update the payment history for one contractor at a time.

If you only have Accounting and need to update payment history for a vendor, seeUpdating Vendor Payment History.
