How to file 1099s for different companies via one Quickbooks Online Accountant account?

Thanks for the detailed information, zoe_wsj.

Yes, you're on the right track. After filing the 1099 to one company, make sure to log out the 1099 e-file service page and start editing to another company to file for 1099 once again. Let's also ensure to send it with the correct data.

Here are 1099-related articles for additional reference and guide:

• What is a 1099 and do I need to file one?
• Create and file 1099s using QuickBooks Online
• Which contractors need 1099s?

I'm just a post away if you need more help.

So Quickbooks will record the correct data every time I submit 1099 and later print and mail it to the contractors once I make sure to log out the 1099 e-file service page? Do I also need to sign out the QBO account first and re sign in before editing to another company? Because the 1099 e-file service page comes out separately once you click on "continue to e-file" at step 5. 

Thanks for coming back, 

Your data is safe when Intuit transmits 1099s via E-file, we comply with all IRS requirements in Publication 1220. QuickBooks Online (QBO) only reflect the data on 1099 based on the vendor transactions you entered in the program. With that said, it would be best to review first if the information is correct before creating and filing1099 in QBO. Also, make sure that you have reviewed the 1099 forms before submitting them as we do not handle corrected forms.

To file 1099s for a separate company, once you’ve logged into the Intuit 1099 E-File Service you'll see the last company you filed for on the Toolbar. Just select the dropdown and then "Add another Intuit 1099 E-File Service Subscription”. This will give you a page to begin entering the next company's information. Then, each subscription for each company is a separate fee.

On the other hand,  when preparing 1099 forms, if you choose not to e-file with Intuit, just print out copies to mail and complete your filing with the IRS, plus print and send a copy to each of your contractors. For more details about this one, see the How do I print my 1099 forms? article.

Thank you for the information. However, when the page jumps to 1099 e-file service, there is no company I filed for shown on the Toobar and I can't find where to "Add another Intuit 1099 E-File Service Subscription". Please see below

You may be experiencing some browser-related issues, zoe_wsj.

There are times that these issues prevent us from completing our work on QuickBooks. Let's run some steps to fix this concern.

To start with, let's open QuickBooks in a private window. It is the best place to identify any browser-related concerns. You may use these keyboard shortcuts to open one:

• Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
• Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Safari: Command + Shift + N

If it works, you may go back to a regular browser and clear the cache. A piled cache can also be the reason for some unexpected issues on the opened page like QuickBooks.

You also have the option to switch to a different supported browser like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, or Microsoft Edge.
