Can I issue 1099's with QuickBooks online simple start plan?

Thank you!

Are you required to add the payroll function to the Simple Start subscription in order to run 1099s?

Hi there, @DReback.

You can run 1099s with the QuickBooks Online Simple Start plan, and you don't need a payroll subscription to run 1099s.

First, let's create your 1099:

1. In the left menu, click Payroll and select Contractors.
2. Choose Prepare 1099s.

4. Choose the I’ll print and mail option.
