I have great news to share with you, renee8!
QuickBooks is using the Combined Federal and State Filing Program (CF/SF) for the 1099-MISC form. Also, I'm happy you've mentioned you're filing to the State of California.
With this, I'm able to confirm you're able to utilize QuickBooks to file your form, since it's one of the states that support the program. Additionally, I recommend the following link as it's a hub of articles to assist with the preparation of the 1099-MISC form: What states support the Combined Federal and State Filing Program (1099)?
I'm confident these resources will have you on the right path and filing the form in no time. However, before you go, can I ask for the QuickBooks link for California that you saw earlier? I want to report it to our Knowledge Management Team, so we can update it and ensure it'll help you and others in the future.
Please don't hesitate to touch base with me here in the Community if there's anything else I can do for you Thanks for reaching out, I look forward to hearing from you.
