Since client is a cash basis s-corp, expenses aren't typically deducted until paid.  However, since a 1099 needs to be issued to the vendor, is that driven by the payment of the reimbursement to the employee/owner in 2018 or when he paid the expense, in 2017?

    The expenses are considered as paid at the time the credit is charged, regardless of when the credit charge is paid or when you are reimbursed by the S-Corp.

    However, as it was paid with a credit card, you are not required to issue and file form 1099-MISC. The credit card company will handle all required reporting.
