Thanks for following this thread, Meisroofing.

I'd be glad to help with your concern about printing 1099s in QuickBooks Online.

When I tried to print a 1099-NEC on QuickBooks Online, it printed three contractors per page.

However, the Select a form type and print page is still showing two per page, regardless of the fact that it hasn't been updated. You simply need to continue printing the form with the graphic or indicator indicating that there are two pages per page.

Our engineers were also made aware of the issue and are working to update the page accordingly.

For more details about filing and printing 1099s, check out Create and file 1099s using QuickBooks Online. I'm also attaching an article that will guide you on how to prepare the 1099-Misc form.

Keep me posted if you have additional questions processing 1099s. I'll be here to answer them. You have a good one. 

I havent gotten a solution for desktop. I am beyond frustrated with this crap.

Thank you so much for explaining that this is fixed even though it still shows it would be 2 forms.  What a nightmare for y'all, I was stressing over this and thinking I wouldn't get them out in time.  

I have also encountered another problem.  I have a vendor/contractor set up properly to get a 1099, using the right expense account and is over the 600.00 threshold and it is not showing up on my preliminary report nor the 1099 NEC print forms preview.  The name of the sub starts with a number 1st and I even changed it to be spelled out as First thinking it might be a glitch with using a number (even though it shouldn't), and it still didn't work.  What do I need to do here, how do I figure out what is wrong?

Thanks for following this thread, Meisroofing, and @jhg14.

I appreciate you for performing the initial troubleshooting steps to get the vendor to show up in the 1099-NEC form. Let me help ensure this issue is resolved in no time.

Since the vendor meets all requirements to get the 1099 NEC form, I encourage contacting our QuickBooks Online (QBO) Care Team. They have extra tools to determine the cause and guide you in applying the permanent solution.

To reach them:

1. Navigate to the Help icon at the top to open the QB Assistant window.
2. In the Assistant tab, scroll down to the Type something field and key in a brief description about your concern. For example, the vendor doesn’t show up on the 1099-NEC form.
3. Follow the onscreen steps to continue.
4. In How would you like to connect with us? section, pick Chat for real-time assistance or Callback to speak with an agent.

In regard to @jhg14 concern, I recommend following the solution by my peers on the first page of this thread. You’ll have to reset the update to get the patch for printing the tax return.

I want to make sure you have all the resources needed in preparing for the tax season. The links provide information about adding a contractor or changing the amount in your 1099s. Also, you’ll see answers to common questions about the tax forms.

The issue is that the payment/vendors missing is they were paid via an expense transaction and with a credit card, not a bank account. And, this is the common denominator with all missing transactions, sounds like a glitch in QBO.  

Hello, Meisroofing. 

In QuickBooks, you do not need to report payments you made electronically, such as by credit card, debit card, gift card, or PayPal payments. QB automatically excludes these for you. 

To learn more about 1099 boxes and view answers to the most frequently asked questions about the form, I would encourage you to go over these articles below:

Got an answer.  QBO support advised that they'll get a 1099 from the credit card company.  Well, it's not from our credit card company it's from their merchant account which makes sense.  So 1099 vendors paid with a cc do not get a 1099 NEC form from us.  Confirmed with my CPA as well.  

Our client is using QB Enterprise Solutions 18.0 Release R16P (R16_111).  Will the updates allow 3 part 1099-NEC printing?

Thank you!

Let me provide you with some information about printing 3 per page for 1099 forms, Clientbookkeeper.

If your client using 2018 or earlier, an upgrade will be required. Then, they should be able to print 3 to a page for 1099 forms. they need to ensure they update their QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release to keep the software up-to-date with the appropriate critical fixes. Here are the releases required to print 1099 forms in QuickBooks Desktop for Windows:

• 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)

I'd like to know how you get your client on after trying the steps, as I want to ensure this is resolved. Feel free to reply to this post and I'll get back to you. You have a good one.

This is utterly ridiculous!  For the money we spend on all of this you could at least be up to date with the IRS and print a 3 to a page 1099!  I have spent hours and hours on this problem when it could have been done in 15 minutes!  

By upgrade you mean we have to move to cloud based accounting. At least that is what the person told me when I called them to "help me".  I DO NOT want cloud based accounting.  !  So in order for me to do 1099-NEC with my 2018 Premier Contractor Edition I am going to have to do them by hand??  This is really frustrating!!

Good evening, @Cravors. 

Congrats on making your first post here in the Community. Allow me to give you some other insight on this matter. 

We don't support 2018 version of QuickBooks Desktop. The ones we do support are as follows: 

• 2020
• 2021
• 2022

Therefore, upgrading your account to the latest release would be the best route to take so this feature will work properly. 

Let me know if this works or if we need to do some further digging. I'm only a post away if you need me again. Best wishes! 

So if I am understanding, because I am using 2018 Quickbooks you will not make sure I can print out sub contractor payouts on the new 3-up 1099- NEC form the federal government requires me to print out on unless I pay you money to upgrade to the latest version?  I don't mind upgrading that but I really have no desire to go to an online cloud based accounting.  I don't trust it or like the idea of it at all.  I would prefer my financial records only on my computer unless I choose to share them.  Is there some way for me to upgrade without moving to being online for everything?

Thanks for posting again, @Cravors. When you upgrade to the latest version, that means you're just upgrading to a newer version of QuickBooks Desktop from within the program.

You can check out this article to learn more insights about upgrading your QuickBooks to make everything works for you in the newer version.

Then, update QuickBooks so you'll have the latest software release.

Get back to me if you have follow-up questions or additional concerns. I'll be here to help you again.

Thank you I appreciate the info! I’ll get a look at this when I get back to my office and see if it’s something I can make happen. The sales person from QuickBooks on the phone didn’t seem interested in helping guide me to desk top only solution without going to completely online. After a while I just got annoyed at him for not helping me get where I needed to be and hung up so I could get back to work.
