Where did you find the solution?

To start with, you can use this article and go to how you prepare your 1099 form: Create and file 1099s using QuickBooks Online.

Once done, here's how you can start printing it:

1. On the last step of your 1099 preparation, select I'll file myself.
2. Select a form you wanted to use in printing your 1099.
3. Complete the alignment instructions.
4. Click View select 1099 contractors.
5. Select Print on 1099 forms.
6. Click Print.

In addition, here's an article you can read to learn more about how you can print your form: How do I print my 1099 forms?

On top of that, I've got you this helpful article for guidance in preparation for the 2020 tax season: QuickBooks Online Payroll Year-end Checklist.

If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know by leaving any comments below. I'll be here to lend a hand.

Hi, I was able to print my 1099s but am no longer seeing the option for printing my 1096 this year.

Hello there, @loveofpaws.

I'm here to help you print the 1096 forms in QuickBooks Desktop. 

When using QuickBooks to file your 1099 forms, the 1096  are e-filed automictically. However, if you have filed your 1099 manual, you can go to the File menu, then choose Print Forms, and select 1099's/1096. For more information about the process, go through this article: How do I print my 1099 forms?.

Once done, you can read through these articles for detailed directions on how to manage 1099 forms in QuickBooks:

• Create and file 1099s with QuickBooks Desktop
• 1099 E-File: QuickBooks Desktop Setup, Troubleshooting, & FAQs
• Instructions for Forms 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC (2020)

Get in touch with us if you have other tax form-related concerns or inquiries. I'll be around to help. Take care always.

I was able to print my NEC 1099s but am unable to print the 1096.  I will file manually.  When I select File, Print Forms, Print 1099/1096 the only option is to print 1099s.  In years past this was very easy but is complicated now.  Do I need to manually type the 1096 on a typewriter?

Hi there, Coco-B.

The option to print 1096 is just located below the Print 1099 button. You can see this in the screenshot below. 

If you can't still see it, follow these steps on how you can resolve common printing issues in QuickBooks Desktop: 

1. Close QuickBooks.
2. Download the most recent version (1.4.0.0) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub. Save it somewhere you can easily find (like your Downloads folder or your Windows desktop). 
3. Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
4. Follow the on-screen steps to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
5. Double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub once the installation is complete.

Once done, proceed to these steps on how use the Tool Hub: 

1. Go to Program Problems.
2. Select QuickBooks PDF & Print Repair Tool. 

Then, go back to the 1099 Wizard to check if you can already see the Print 1096 button. More options that can resolve printing issued are discussed here: Troubleshoot Issues With Printing And .PDF Files.

Add another reply below if you need more help with this. 

I downloaded the Quickbooks Tool Hub, Selected Program Problems, and then Quickbooks PDF & Print Repair Tool per your instructions but the option to print the 1096 still does not appear.  Again, the only option is to print 1099s which I have already done.

Thanks for performing the steps shared above to be able to print the 1096 form, @Coco-B.

I'd like to provide additional troubleshooting steps that can help get this matter sorted out.

Hi there, @hwardsmith.

I have just the steps you'll need to fix your 1099 forms, @hwardsmith.

1. Go to Help, then Update QuickBooks Desktop.
2. Select the Options tab, and tick the Mark All button.
3. Click the Update Now tab, then put a checkmark on the Reset Update box.
4. Hit Get Updates. Once the update is complete, restart your computer.

Then, let's update your tax table version.

2. Select the Download entire payroll update radio-button.

Also, you can run the QuickBooks Print & Print Repair Tool to fix any printing issues on the software. Just follow Solution 1 in the Troubleshoot PDF and Print problems with QuickBooks Desktop article. Then, proceed to the next recommended soluti

I had a different problem (no print dialogue box after going through all of the necessary steps for preparing) and this is what finally worked!  I had tried pop-up blockers, network diagnoistics, updates, restarts and the Quickbooks Tool Hub (print/pdf manager) is what fixed it.  Thank you!!

I too am having suddenly new issues printing 1099-NEC using DeskTop Pro 2021 with Windows Pro 10

Each year a print a draft set to check for an errors and that printed fine roughly two weeks ago.

I have made the changes/updates/corrections and now QB will not print on any printer that I use to include the one it printed on recently.

Let me also add that while the 1099s will not print any other printing I need done in QB out of the 1099 Wizard prints normally with no issues.

I have also run the QB Tool Hub printer problems with QB closed per the instructions and this has not helped at al.

Lastly, it is also my understanding that QB has know about the three to a page 1099-NEC for months now and here on 1/13 with just a little over two weeks before the 1099s have to be distributed QB is still working off the old two to a page software.  Hopefully someone reading this can give us a more current update on when this might be available.

Thanks for any input or guidance to help me and it seems many other users out.
