There are Two Records for Each of My Vendors in My 1099 Work File

If you have duplicate records for your vendors in your 1099 work file, you have created the work file a second time without first deleting the existing records for the calendar year.  The program does not overwrite existing records but instead adds new records.  Before re-creating the work file for the same calendar year you should always delete the existing records for that same year.  This can be done 2 ways:

1.  From within the 1099 Work File window, choose TOOLS, Delete Year.  Specify the year you want to delete and click OK (this is the recommended way).

2.  When you create the Work File, Orion checks to see if records already exist for the year.  If some are found, you will be able to access the "Delete current records for Selected Calendar Year" option.  Choose this option to clear out the existing records.
