Vendor Name Field Length

2 votes

Now that IRS requires EXACT matching of name and FEIN, we discovered our vendor name field length doesn't contain enough characters. We would like the ability to modify these field lengths when needed. In addition, an additional DBA line would be helpful.

Hi Toni,
Just to clarify, are you referring to the 1099 name? Vendor name, or vendor ID? A little more detail will help us determine what we can do. Thanks for any additional context you can provide. Thanks again.

I think he's referring to the name field on the 1099 information tab.

Yes, I agree the field length on the MIP 1099 tab with the vendor window would improve with a field length increase. I has one vendor with a very long company name and will truncate it. My solution was to go into my 1099 filing program (currently AATRIX) and manually change to the full name but must do this every year or the IRS will kick it back. Costs us a few bucks and time to resubmit each time.
