W-2 and 1099-MISC Employee

[acctax01]

I have a client who has decided to pay his employees a regular salary via W-2 and Commission pay on a 1099.

I have tried to set this up the same as if one employee worked for multiple departments at different pay rates, however, when I get to the “pay” tab under employees, I cannot figure out how to change the pay detail to accommodate both type employees (salaried and non-employee worker). Is this possible to do or do I have to create a separate employee record to record the commission pay? Thanks for the help.

What you said at the end of your message " Is this possible to do or do I have to create a separate employee record to record the commission pay?" actually is the only solution to have a regular payee and a 1099-MISC payee.

But just for the record, commission pay as a "non-employee" payee, may raise the red flag with the IRS' crackdown on non-employee fraud.
