Carrie asked:
I’m trying to set up property management in Quickbooks.
The Managers receive rents from tenants and forward them to the owners less mgmt fees and any repairs they’ve had to pay up front. For Example:
Rent Amount 1900.
Less Mgmt Fee -190.
Plumbing paid by prop mgrs -60.
Amount of Check: 1650.
Quickbooks would put $1650. on a 1099 to the owner but the mgmt company needs it to show the full amount of $1900. The owner then would then claim the expenses and mgmt fees as their own expenses.
Do you have any idea how to make the gross amount come out on a 1099 even though the actual check written to the owner would only be $1650?
The managers have an escrow account holding owners’ money… I’m trying to figure out if they can write the check and then make a dummy check or journal entry to make the accounting and 1099’s correct.
Thanks!
