I tried to print 3 per page 1099 NEC forms and it will only do 2 per page. I tried up dating and the same thing happened I have to have these forms sent out by Jan 31st. Can you please tell me how to get it to print 3 per page?

Thanks Bob Youtz

Hi @BobYoutz.

I’m here to help make sure we get your QuickBooks updated so that you can print 3 per page 1099s. We’ll want to make sure that you’ve updated to the current release for your product.

To confirm which release you have, hit the F2 button when logged in to QuickBooks, this opens the Product Information screen, look at the release version extension...it'll be the underscore and a number.

• QB 2022 R3_(71+)
• QB 2021 R8_(62+)
• QB 2020 R13_(39+)
• QB 2019 R16_(55+) 

If your product release and version is lower than those listed, you’ll need to update your QuickBooks.It’s important to make sure to update QuickBooks to the latest release. A few things to check before we try updating:

• Do you have a strong internet connection?
• Are you in single-user mode?
• Can you disable any firewall you may have, please?

Next:

1. Close your company files and QuickBooks.
2. Open the Windows Start menu.
3. Search for QuickBooks Desktop. Right-click the icon and select Run as administrator.
4. While on the No Company Open screen, go to the Help menu and select Update QuickBooks Desktop.
5. Go to the Options tab. Select Mark All and then select Save.
6. Go to the Update Now tab and select the Reset Update checkbox.
7. When you're ready, select Get Updates.

When the update finishes, close and reopen QuickBooks Desktop. To install the updates, select Yes.

When the install finishes, restart your computer.

Let’s press F2 once more to confirm you have the latest release for your version of QuickBooks, if so, you’ll have the option to print the 3 per page 1099s.

Let me know how it goes. I want to be sure we get you up and running.

I just upgraded to QB Desk Pro 2022.  Trying to print 1099-NEC new forms which are 3-up, no longer 2-up.  How do I proceed?

Thanks for joining the thread, @Sheryl51.

I want to make sure you're able to print 3 part 1099s in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). 

This year there was a change in the printing format and in order to print the form. To apply these changes, ensure to update the form on its current release based on your product. 

To confirm which release you have, press the F2 button when logged in to QuickBooks. This opens the Product Information screen. Look at the release version extension. It'll be the underscore and a number.

• QB 2022 R3_(71+)
• QB 2021 R8_(62+)
• QB 2020 R13_(39+)
• QB 2019 R16_(55+) 

To make sure you're able to successfully update the program, please take note of the following:

• You have to run the update as an administrator.
• In multi-user mode, all additional users must be logged off before QuickBooks Admin can log in and update QuickBooks. This way, it would apply the latest release and fixes. 
• If you’re using a hosted network or have a hosting service, reach out to them to confirm if the latest updates have been pushed.
• If you have an anti-virus/firewall installed, adjust your settings or reboot in safe mode to allow the updates.

Sorry but you are mistaken and gave incorrect advice.  I've already updated QuickBooks Desktop 2020 with the newest release and the 3-part 1099-NEC is printing just fine.  It has been out since Jan 12th, 2021.

Tell your users to follow the update process for the 3-parts to work.

Mike Delancey

Yes, this process does work.  But please note that I had to perform the update 2 or 3 times before the release needed for the 3-part 1099-NEC populated. So try & then if needed go through the update process from scratch again.  It does work!

Thanks

Another silly reply.  Quickbooks admitting their software is flawed, isn't fixing it in time for deadlines, and pushes users to find their own workarounds.

Quickbooks is trash.

"Rest assured"

Hey it's nearly January 31st and it ain't fixed. 

Assurances from Quickbooks are about as valuable as monopoly money.

Nope.  Isn't fixed.  It's January 28th and it doesn't work.

Thanks Quickbooks.  For nothing.

Don't bother with this - there is no fix and the latest releases don't solve the problems.  Once again Quickbooks is full of....

Quickbooks never fixed this and the answers in this thread are just employees reposting inaccurate or outdated information.

Pint,

It's working for me.

See the attached instructions and update as instructed to the release listed here based on your version of Quickbooks:

• QB 2022 R3_(71+)
• QB 2021 R8_(62+)
• QB 2020 R13_(39+)
• QB 2019 R16_(55+) 

It took me sometimes 2 or 3 times of updating to reach the correct release version.

@ReymondO 

The IRS revised forms 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC in January 2022.  Is QuickBooks going to have an update to complete those forms correctly.

Mike Delancey

Thanks for getting back here, @Mike Delancey.

Let me share some details about 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC updated form in QuickBooks Desktop. This way, I can guide accordingly. 

The updated 1099 forms are already in QuickBooks Desktop. Just ensure that your account and payroll tax table are in the latest release, so you'll see the forms with the revised data. To know what's included in payroll updates, check out this article: Latest payroll news and updates.

If you still couldn't find the forms after updating your account, I'd suggest going to the IRS website to print them.
