Tax1099

I am E-Filing 1099's for the first time this year using tax1099. Do people have a preference between Web Connect and Plugin?  I am desktop 2019, 20, 21 user. Just starting the setup process.

Yes, you do, @charles16.

 

I’d be glad to guide you in E-Filing your first 1099 seamlessly.

 

QuickBooks offers two methods to help you determine how to import your 1099 data. You can choose either Web Connect or Plugin. Let me guide you how in your QuickBooks Accountant Desktop software:

 

If you prefer using Web Connect in importing your data, you can follow these steps:

 

  1. After you’ve completed the QuickBooks Desktop 1099 Wizard and created a Tax1099.com account
  2. Select Web Connector Download to download the .QWC file needed for setup.
  3. Save the file to your desktop, and give it the same name as your login.
  4. In your QuickBooks, go to File menu, select Update Web Services, and then Add an Application.
  5. Open the .QWC file you just downloaded.
  6. Select OK on the Authorize New Web Service window.
  7. On the Application Certificate screen, select "Yes, always; allow access even if QuickBooks is not running," and then select Continue.
  8. In the QuickBooks Web Connector, select Tax1099, enter your Tax1099 password, and then select Update Selected.
  9. Then choose your preference if you want to save the password.

You can also check this article for the complete details (check the Method 2: Import your data by using the Tax1099 plugin section if you prefer using the plugin): 1099 E-File: QuickBooks Desktop setup, troubleshooting, & FAQs.

 

In case you’re unsure if your state requires you to file your 1099, you can refer to this link for reference about the process: What states support the Combined Federal and State Filing Program (1099)?

 

I’ll be around if you have other questions about importing your 1099’s. It’s always my pleasure to help you. Have a great weekend!

Does the Web Connector, "Application Progress" and "Total Progress" normally take an extended amount of time to show any progress?  I'm trying to connect with only 8 subcontractors on my Quickbooks that are mapped to need a 1099. I followed all of the steps from this Tax1099 thread, and got all of the same prompts, but now have been waiting 15 minutes and there is still 0% progress on both lines.  Is this normal?

I appreciate you for performing the steps shared on this thread, BDavis15. I know it can be rough when it takes too much time to import your data into QuickBooks Desktop. I'm here to help you get this fixed.

 

Normally, importing your 1099 data doesn't take an extended amount of time. Since you've encountered this, I'd suggest ensuring you have a strong internet connection. This way, you'll easily upload the data.

 

If you already have a strong connection, let's perform some troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue. Before proceeding, I'd suggest updating QuickBooks Desktop to ensure you have the latest features and fixes.

 

Once done, we can now run the Verify and Rebuild Data utility in the system. This tool scan data issues within the company file and self-resolves them. Here's how:

 

To verify the data:

 

  1. Open the company file.
  2. Click the File tab at the top menu.
  3. Select Utilities.
  4. Choose Verify Data.

 

To rebuild the data:

 

  1. Open the company file.
  2. Click the File tab at the top menu.
  3. Select Utilities.
  4. Choose Rebuild Data.

 

For more details about the process, please see this article: Verify and Rebuild Data in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

If none of these fixes the problem, I'd suggest contacting our QuickBooks Support Team. They're equipped with tools to check the cause. It'll also allow them to submit a ticket to our engineering team to alert them about the issue if necessary.

 

Additionally, I've included an article that'll help you learn more about preparing and filing the 1099 form. This ensures everything is accurate for the tax season: Get Answers to your 1099 Questions.

 

I'm only a post away if you need more help in completing your other tasks in QuickBooks, BDavis15. It's always my pleasure to help you out again.
