Quickbooks does not file state 1099-misc?

jakobox · ‎January 16, 2020

I previously used tax1099.com to file 1099-misc to contractors. They filed state and federal for a few dollars each.

This year, I decided to use Quickbooks (figured it would streamline things as my data is already within Quickbooks)

At the end of the process (after paying confirming etc.) .I get a message that says "Quickbooks does not file state forms. Check with your state agency about requirements"

Maybe I'm missing something, but this seems absurd, and not convenient at all. Am I missing something here? I would have been much better using another service. Can I . "cancel" my 1099 submissions via Quickbooks and use my old service?

Providing the best experience with the product is what we are aiming for, jakobox.

May I know what state are you trying to file? We have a list of all states that we support for the Combined Federal and State Filing (CF/SF) Program for 1099. Just check out What states support the Combined Federal and State Filing Program (1099)? for more details.

However, there are some states you're not required to file Form 1099-MISC. Please refer to the Does my state require me to file Form 1099-MISC? section in the article I've provided.

If your state is not on the list, we recommend checking with your state agency for filing requirements.

On the other hand, you have the option to cancel the 1099 submission via QBO for filing the state 1099. Then, file the 1099 MISC form using the 1099 E-File Service (Standalone).

To learn more about e-filing 1099, please refer to these articles:

There are multiple threads on this topic...all with conflicting information.

Some say that QBO does not support the Combined Federal Filing for states that accept it (California as an example) and that we need to mail in form 1099-MISC to CA.

Some say that the IRS will automatically send to the states that support the Combined Federal Filing.

I am going to play it safe and mail 1099-MISC to the CA Franchise Tax Board. My question: I filed through QBO electronically. When I view the 1099 forms that QBO created, there is a recipient copy and Copy 2 which is to be filed with the recipient's state return. I don't see a copy for me (preparer) to file with CA. Do I now need to go buy a state 1099-MISC form and do all this myself? If so...I should have just done the whole thing myself and not paid QBO to do it! Please help.

Hi there, @debi222.

Great day and thanks for sharing your concern here in the Community. I appreciate you for using the convenient way of filing your form electronically through QB Online.

Calfornia is one of the states that support the Combined Federal and State Filing (CF/SF) Program. And while you're operating your business in CA, you're not required to file Form 1099-MISC with your state, which is why the system only generates recipient copy and Copy 2.

You can find this information in the article shared by my colleague @RCV. Read through: What states support the Combined Federal and State Filing Program (1099)?.

For future reference, check out California Payroll Tax Compliance in case you need to check with your states about filing requirements to ensure compliance with state payroll regulations.

Should you have more questions, drop a comment on this thread. We're always around to help you more.
