I have tried all that already. I just thought there was another place to try to get them to work.. No luck

Hi @eehargis. I can see that you've been working with QuickBooks to print the 3 to a page 1099-NEC.

I understand how you wanted to print and submit the form to make it before the deadline. When QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) is updated to the latest release and has the recent tax table, you'll be able to print the three paged 1099-NEC. Besides, after ensuring you got the required versions before printing them by pressing F2, make sure also to put a checkmark in the Reset Update box. Here are the required versions:

Windows version:

• QuickBooks 2022/Enterprise 22 - R3_71 (or later)
• QuickBooks 2021/Enterprise 21 - R8_62 (or later)
• QuickBooks 2020/Enterprise 20 - RR13_39 (or later)
• QuickBooks 2019/Enterprise 19 - R16_55 (or later)

Resetting the updates will omit the past unwanted functionalities in QuickBooks and replace them with the new ones that include fixes to print the 3 to a page 1099-NEC.

Here's how:

1. Completely close out and shutdown QuickBooks Desktop.
2. Open the task manager on your computer and select End all tasks for QuickBooks-related processes.
3. Rerun QuickBooks and go to the Help menu and select Update QuickBooks Desktop.
4. Go to the Options tab and click Mark All, then Save.
5. Click the Update Now tab, and then make sure to check the Critical Fixes and Reset Update checkbox.
6. Select Get Updates to start the download.

After the system finishes the download, I suggest restarting QBDT and installing the updates by choosing Yes. Furthermore, ensure to remap the accounts and clear all mapping under the MISC tab. Doing this will cause you to remap NEC and MISC accounts again and be able to print the 3 to a page 1099-NEC form successfully.

If the issue persists, I recommend contacting our Payroll Support team. Our representative will investigate this further and assist you more with printing the 3 to a page 1099-NEC.

I just figured this out for Quickbooks Desktop.  When I ran a 1099 report, some of my vendor payments were under 1099-NEC (correct for me) and some were under 1099-MISC (incorrect for me). If I clicked on "Get Started" to run the 1099-NEC, verified vendors, and then got to "Map Vendor Payment Accounts", the accounts that were mapped to 1099-MISC were grayed out and would not allow me to change them to "NEC Box 1".

The problem is that the payment account is mapped to the 1099-MISC and needs to be unmapped before you can re-map it to the 1099-NEC.

To do this, first, go to "Vendors/1099 Forms/Print/E-file 1099 Forms" and click on "Get Started" under the Form 1099-MISC.  Click "continue" on the "Select your 1099 Vendors" page, and then "continue" again on the next "Verify your 1099 info" page.  You will see a chart with a listing of all the accounts you used for 1099, the account type, and "Apply payments to this 1099 box".  Right now, the third column indicates which box on the 1099-MISC you want that account to apply payments to.  You need to change this column to "Omit these payments from 1099".  Don't worry!  Quickbooks will still recognize these as 1099 accounts, but now you will be freed up to assign the accounts to 1099-NEC.  Click "Save & Close".

Now you can go back to "Vendors/1099 Forms/Print/E-file 1099 Forms" and click on "Get Started" under the Form 1099-NEC.  Click "continue" twice to get to the "Map Vendor payment accounts" Screen.  Make sure the box in the upper right says "Show 1099 accounts". You can now find all the accounts that are marked "Omit these payments from 1099" and assign them to "NEC box1: Nonemployee Compensation."

Hope this helps someone out there who was as confused as me!

When I went to 

Even when I set up a whole new account in charts of accounts there is nothing that specifies whether to set it to 1099 misc or nec. So now I just have two accounts set up for 1099 misc and nothing shows up under nec.

Thank you so much!! That totally worked.

I'm so glad to see you found the answers you were looking for here in the Community, CD76. Fellow QuickBooks users helping each other out is one of the best things about this space. 

You know where to come if you ever need a hand again in the future. Take care!
