A partner sent me a 1099 through Quickbooks. When I click the 1099 link in the email it takes me to a subscribe to Quickbooks Self Employed screen. How do I view it?

It's nice to see you here, @matt164,

Allow me to share some insights about this 1099 concern.

When someone sends you a 1099 form within QuickBooks Online, the system will direct you to a self-employed account under your email. If you don't have a limited QuickBooks Self-Employed account, you will need to have your partner send an invitation to create one.

You can give them this article so they can send you the invitation to enter your W-9 information and view the 1099 form: Invite a contractor to add their own tax info

If they already sent the invitation before but you weren't able to enter W-9 info, they can resend the invite to your contractor. Here are the steps they need to do in their QBO account:

1. Go to Payroll then Contractors.
2. Select the contractor’s name.
3. Tap Send a reminder or Send email. 
   

Once you receive the invitation, you should be able to create a free QBSE account to view 1099 forms.

It's your employer or client's responsibility to give you your 1099-MISC. If you don't want to create a QuickBooks Self-Employed account, reach out to them to get a copy.

Let me know if you have other questions about this. I'll be more than happy to share additional insights with you. Have a good day!

This didn't really answer my issue.  It's confusing why, as a Quickbooks subscriber (no matter the plan), isn't able to view a 1099 sent to me.  I ended up contacting the partner and they emailed and mailed my 1099 to me directly.  Kind of bizarre how confusing Quickbooks has made this whole process.
