That's a great question, Gina, and I'd be happy to guide you!
QuickBooks Online securely stores 1099 forms for the current tax year and the two previous years. Since you are looking for your 2021 1099 form, and currently only see forms for 2022 and 2023. As a result, your 2021 form is no longer accessible directly within QuickBooks.
The good news is that retrieving older forms is straightforward. To get a copy of your 2021 1099, you will need to access your tax records or request it directly from the IRS.
Here’s the simplest way to get your 2021 form from the IRS:
- Visit the IRS website.
- Search for guidance on requesting prior-year tax documents, or use the IRS Transcript Service to request a copy of your 1099.
- Follow the provided instructions to submit your request.
