1099

This is a question about the 1099 forms we completed in our QuickBooks. When I finished preparing them, it said "mailed," but 1. Don't I mail Copy B to the recipient myself and 2) Am I supposed to mail a copy to the IRS or does QuickBooks send the 1099's in for me?

Thank you for your response.  I followed all those steps yesterday and never saw a button that said "Continue to E-file."  The word "mailed" popped up but no place to go to e-file.  So, I downloaded and printed the 1099's.  Did I make a mistake that can't be corrected?  Is there any way to go back somewhere and e-file from somewhere in the system?  


Hi there, @nancyjane. Thanks for coming back.

 

Let me share info about the filing you perform and guide you where to find it.

 

What you performed is correct. After you click the Continue to E-file, it was already e-filed and under review by the IRS. To check for progress, you can go to your 1099 filings in the Taxes tab. Here's how: 

 

  1. From the left navigation, select Taxes.
  2. Choose 1099 filings.
  3. Below will show the current filings you performed. With the Filing Date, Form, Recipient's Copy, Status, and Actions.

 

For more info, you can read, this article: Create and file 1099s with QuickBooks Online.

 

You might want to learn how to make corrections to your 1099 forms after you e-file them. Check out this article: Correct or change 1099s in QuickBooks.

 

For additional questions about managing your 1099 forms, don't hesitate to reply to this post. I'll be willing to help you. Keep safe and have a good one.

Hello there, @nancyjane.

 

Let me help and provide information about filling 1099 in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

To start, If you use QuickBooks Online's e-file service, then QuickBooks will be the one who will e-file your 1099 forms directly with the IRS and mailing them to your contractors. However, if you didn't subscribe to QuickBooks Payroll 1099 E-file, you will have to send or mail a copy of the forms to the IRS.

 

You may refer to this site, to check for the plans and pricing for a simple way to file 1099s online: QuickBooks Payroll 1099 E-file.

 

I'll also add this article to guide you in understanding different federal payroll forms, and tax payments: Understand federal forms and tax payments for 941, 944, 943, and 940.

 

Please feel free to drop a comment below, if you have further concerns about the 1099 or other QBO-related concerns. I will answer them in any possible way.

Thank you for your response.

 

I just added payroll to my quickbooks online, yesterday.  My treasurer is in the process of getting it set up.  However, I don't know if that means I have the Efile part of that service.  It would seem to be included since it files all the payroll tax forms automatically.  If I am right that our new payroll add-on includes efiling, how do I file the already prepared 1099's?
