My company used the q-books online e-file service to file 1099s with the IRS, but our vendors have not received paper copies. How do I determine the 1099 mail date?

I can help share information about the mailed 1099, sbell2.

Your vendors should receive their 1099 copies about a week or two after the date they were e-filed. All undelivered mail will be sent back to your company details as the return address.

You may consider reaching out to our Customer Care support team so they can further assist you right away with this. They have the tools to look into your account. You can use this link to contact them: QuickBooks Online Support.

I have the same question.  A vendor contacted me today saying they don't want to set up another account with a password just to view the 1099 form - hard to blame them.  They were supposed to have been mailed, but I can't figure out how to track them.  Other than the email confirmation I got saying the IRS accepted the forms, I can't even tell that I ever set them up in QBO.

Hello, oppyland.

Let me add some additional info about the form.

While we're unable to trace the mailed 1099 forms, you'll want to save a copy through PDF. Then, manually send it to your vendor's email address.

Here's how:

1. Create your 1099s in QuickBooks.
2. When complete, choose the I'll file myself option.
3. Choose the type of form you are printing.
4. Check if the forms align properly by selecting Print sample on blank paper. If it looks good, choose Yes, looks good! If the alignment is not correct, choose No, it doesn't line up and follow the on-screen instructions to fix your alignment, then select Next.
5. Confirm the form you want to print and select View selected 1099 contractors to confirm your vendors/contractors.
6. Select Print on 1099 forms then click the Download icon and save the file. 
7. When complete then select Next then Done.

If you decide to print and give the form to your vendors manually, you can check out the steps in this article: Print your 1099 forms.

In addition, I'll share these articles on how your vendors can view their 1099 form or to check other year end task in your account:
