Question

1099-NEC is a 3-up form but QB will only print 2-up. Is there a way to change this internally to print 3-up?

Allow me to provide information about printing the 1099-NEC form in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @usermikemeyermm.

The 1099-NEC form isn't yet updated. Thus, printing it into a 3-up format is currently unavailable. Please know that QuickBooks will follow the IRS finalized tax forms. For now, you'll want to wait until QuickBooks update the payroll tax forms before the year ends.

You might need more assistance preparing your 1099-NEC. You can read these articles for more guidance:

So everything I am seeing says that QBO will change 1099-NEC format to 3-up instead of 2-up before "filing season". We are now in "Filing season" and QBO is still printing 2-up. What is going on?

Hello @martoon1492.

Thanks for checking in with the Community for information about 3 up NEC forms. Those are available in QB Desktop 2020 at this time.

I see that you’ve run the updates, let’s try that one more time.

When you’re updating to the most current release for QuickBooks Desktop, please make sure to enable the Reset Update option. It usually fixes issues related to any critical update, as well as other possible errors within the product. In case you need the steps, here's how:

Click the Help tab at the top menu bar and select Update QuickBooks Desktop.
Go to the Update Now tab.
Put a checkmark on the box beside Reset Update.
Hit Get Updates.

Enabling the Reset Update option is critical especially if you’ve run updates recently. Once you’ve updated, I recommend closing QuickBooks and restarting your computer once again.

If you’re still not getting the update, your next step will be to uninstall and reinstall your QuickBooks and try to get the updates again.

That should do it! Let me know if you have any additional questions or if there is anything else I can help with.

Is anyone else having problems in the 1099 alignment "print sample" section? It freezes up and then QB closes out QB.

Hello there, NinaKnight.

I just replicated this on my end and I was able to see that it's printing 3 contractors per page.

Even though, the Select a form type and print page is not yet updated and still shows 2 per page. You may continue printing the form and ignore the picture showing 2 per page.

Our product engineers are also aware of this issue and are working to update the page as soon as possible.

You can check out this link to know more about the complete set of instructions and the latest information about the form: Instructions for Forms 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC.

Let us know if you still have other questions about 1099 forms. We'll be here to help. Have a great day!

I just ignored the preview page like you said and it still printed 2 per page. HOW DO I PRINT 1099NEC 3 UP FORMS? IT IS JANUARY 26TH. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I updated everything TODAY and still no fix.

It's our priority to ensure you're able to print the 1099-NEC form with three vendors per page, @jhg14.

May I know the release version of your QuickBooks? You can find it on the Product Information page by pressing F2 on your keyboard. These are the versions required to print the 1099 NEC forms in QuickBooks Desktop.

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)

If you have the updated version, I'd suggest getting in touch with our Customer Care Support Team. They can check why you're still unable to print your forms with three vendors per page after updating QuickBooks Desktop and provide troubleshooting to fix this.

Here's how:

Select QuickBooks Desktop Help from the Help menu.

It looks as if you asked this question about Quickbooks Online, because that is what software is referenced on your question, is that correct? If so, did you ever get an answer to this. I purchased forms not realizing their 3 forms instead of 2 and of course no way to change this in QBO. I bought these because Quickbooks store was charging a ridiculous amount of money for the forms (robbing the consumers). Only answers I'm seeing are for Desktop...

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.

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?
