1099 Filing

I do bookkeeping for 3 small companies.  I have 1 company that has enough 1099's that now require filing online.  The other 2 do not.  Is there a way to still create 1099's thru QB and create on blank paper to send to individuals?  Do they get emailed or is there a way to print and mail?  I've only purchased forms in the past and printed and mailed to both the IRS and individuals.

You can this app as the connector to use QuickBooks Online to file your W-2 and 1099-MISC forms. Simply create an account, import your data directly from QuickBooks, review your data and checkout. They'll file your forms to the IRS, applicable state agency and send copies to your recipients.

This doesn't answer the question...I had the same one. Can we send paper 1099s to recipients and efile to IRS? Will the Quickbooks program allow this?

1099 Filing

Hi everyone,

 

Let me help you prepare and file Federal 1099s.

 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), you can purchase the 1099 kit to have an option to print and mail 1099s. 

 

To create and print 1099s, here's what you'll need to do:

 

  1. In the left menu, click Payroll.
  2. Select Contractors.
  3. Choose Prepare 1099s.
  4. When complete, choose the Print and mail instead option.
  5. Follow the on-screen steps to check your alignment and print your forms.

 

For more details on filing 1099s, see these articles:

 

 

If you need clarifications about 1099s, here's an article that you can check: Get answers to your 1099 questions.

 

Let me know in the comment section below if you need further assistance with the 1099. I'm here to answer them for you. Have a great day!

Thank you. It is my understanding that the IRS is requiring those with more than 10 documents, to file to the IRS electronically.  Is that correct?

 

Those less than 10 have to be mailed.  Is that correct?  Can those be printed on blank paper or is a 1099 kit required?

 

The next question is, can I file the 1099's directly to the vendors directly thru QB?  Do you know the fee and is it per vendor?  Or can I print on blank paper and send to each vendor?  I thought the blank paper was an option and not a kit.

I believe I found part of my answer:

 

Intuit will fill your 1099's with the IRS and deliver copies to contractors at rates listed:

1 - 3 corms $3.99; 4-20 $3.19; 21+ $1.59 by January 15th. Rates increase on January 16th.

 

If you have Intuit Payroll, there are no fees.

 

Just to confirm, I can still submit less than 10 thru Intuit but can use paper if I wish.  Otherwise 10 or more is a must.

Allow me to dive into this thread to assist you, @Kitkat2. I’ll provide you with the details about Filing 1099 in QuickBooks Online. 

 

For your first concern, you can choose blank paper type to print your 1099 form. For Form 1099s, Copy A uses red ink and must be ordered from the IRS or purchased from a tax supply vendor. All other parts of Form 1099 can be printed on plain white paper.

 

It is not necessary to submit ten documents in a 1099 file in QuickBooks. However, the threshold for electronic filing has been reduced from 250 returns to 10 or more returns in a calendar year as per prior regulations. The new regulations have introduced several requirements for the e-filing of certain returns and documents that were not previously mandatory. Starting from the tax year 2023, if you have ten or more combined 1099s, W-2s, or other federal forms to file, you must file them electronically.

 

QuickBooks subscribers can e-file 1099s by selecting the Contractor tab in QuickBooks and selecting Prepare 1099s. E-filing is included with QuickBooks Contractor Payments and QuickBooks Online Payroll Core, Premium, and Elite (additional fee). Here is an article for a detailed explanation: 1099 E-FILE A simple way to file 1099s online

 

Furthermore, here is an article you can use to learn how to print 1099 and, if available, 1096 forms in QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Contractor Payments, or QuickBooks Desktop. Also on how to prepare and file your Federal 1099s with QuickBooks Online:

 

Let me know if you have any other concerns or questions about your 1099 Filing in QuickBooks Online. I’m more than happy to help. Keep safe and stay healthy.

1099 Filing

I guess I'm still not understanding.

1 - I have less than 10 forms. Can I still submit these electronically thru QB's?

2 - Will QB's automatically send these to the vendors as well? Or do I have the ability to print and send myself?

3 - If I print and send myself, does it print on blank paper like it's on an actual 1099 form, or do I have to purchase the forms?

Thank you.  Sorry, I've been doing everything via mail for over 20 years so this is confusing me.

1099 Filing

I'm here to provide you with some information on how to e-file your 1099s from QuickBooks Online (QBO), @Kitkat2.

 

If you have less than 10 forms, you can still e-file your 1099s from QuickBooks Online (QBO). The due date for Form 1099-NEC is January 31, and the due date for Form 1099-MISC is March 31, if you file electronically. Please note that e-filing is only available for contractors who have a U.S. address. Refer to this article for more information about creating and filing 1099s with QuickBooks Online

 

Once you have prepared and e-filed your 1099s, Intuit will deliver copies to your contractors at no additional cost. You can also print the form from the Taxes page after e-filing.

 

Here's how: 

 

  1. Go to the Taxes menu and select 1099 filings
  2. From there, you can select View 1099 to view a PDF copy. 

 

Refer to this article for more information about printing your 1099 and 1096 forms

 

Regarding your question about the type of paper to use for your 1099, you can use plain paper or pre-printed 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC kits. You can purchase these kits by visiting the QuickBooks Pre-Printed 1099 Kits

 

In case you need to make corrections to 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC forms after you e-filed them, see this article for further guidance: Correct or change 1099s in QuickBooks.

 

Let me know if you need more information about e-filing your 1099s. I'm always here to assist. Have a wonderful day!
