I'm here to ensure you're able to line up your 1099-NEC, fsnarski.

 

Let's click the No, it doesn't line up" button on the Print 1099s page. From there, we can adjust the alignment of the 1099-NEC form. 

 

Here's how: 

  1. On the Prepare 1099 page, click Finish preparing 1099s.
  2. Select No, I'll print and mail.
  3. Select 1099 and print a sample page, then select No, it doesn't line up.
  4. Choose 1099-NEC.
  5. Adjust the alignment.
  6. If the form already aligns properly, select Yes, looks good!.
  7. Choose Next
  8. Click Done to complete printing 1099.

 

For your visual reference, I've attached a screenshot below.

 

Once done, you can click the Print another sample on blank paper button to check if the form is now line up properly.

 

However, if the issue persists, I recommend updating your Adobe Reader.

 

You can also refer to this IRS article for more details about 1099 forms: Form 1099-NEC - Internal Revenue Service.

 

Additionally, I'm adding our Webinars and Events page for reference. From there, you'll be able to find helpful guides to complete your year-end task smoothly.
