Destop is checking off wrong box on the 1096. When prining it checks the 1099-misc box instead of the 1099-NEC -  for  2023 filings.

Hello there, @DGentile. Let me help you resolve this so that the correct box will be checked when you print.

 

First, let's ensure that your QuickBooks Desktop file is updated to the latest version and payroll tax table for you to print your 1099.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Visit this article: Update QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release. Select the Reset Update checkbox.
  2. Hover to Vendors, then choose 1099 Forms, then Print/E-file 1099 Forms. Create your 1099s.
  3. In the Choose a filing method window, select Print 1099-NEC or Print 1099-MISC.
  4. Specify the date range for the forms, then choose OK.
  5. Select all vendors for whom you wish to print 1099s.
  6. Select Print 1099. Select Print 1096s instead if you're printing Form 1096.
  7. Double-check your printer settings, then select Print

 

On the other hand, if the issue persists after updating to the latest release, I recommend contacting our payroll support. Your concern requires our assigned support's assistance, as they possess the necessary security protocols to access your account, which is beyond the scope of what can be done here in the Community space. 

Moreover to adjust your print alignment, you can check this article: Fix print alignment of continuous-feed printers.

My payroll is up to date. It's a printing error on the 1096. 1099-NEC should be marked instead of 1099-misc when I'm sending NEC forms. I'm just using white out for now.

This issue does not appear resolved.  I just went through the update procedure and it did not correct the alignment of the "X" for marking 1096 NEC.  the "X" still prints in the 1096 MISC box, but below the checkbox...
