2021 QuickBooks Desktop prints 2 part 1099 NEC forms

Thanks for letting us know that you already made sure to update your QuickBooks, CP2136.

 

Aside form what's been shared in the thread, I have one more steps to share that can resolve some of the most common printing issue in QuickBooks.

 

You can rename the QBprint.qbp file. This file contains contains information about printer set up and data line for each form in QuickBooks Desktop. Here's how:

 

  1. Close QuickBooks and locate the QBPrint.qbp file.
    Quick tip: You might need to display hidden files and folders or search for files using Windows to find these files in Windows.
    • Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7 and Vista: C:\ProgramData\Intuit\QuickBooks 20XX
      Note: 20XX represents the version of your QuickBooks
    • Server 2008 and Server 2012: C:\Program Data\Intuit\QuickBooks year and C:\Users\**remote user**\AppData\Roaming\Intuit\ YEAR VERSION\TSPrinterSettings
      Note: Terminal Service users report finding duplicate copies of the Qbprint.qbp file with the stored client data files; double-check all folders for odd instances.
  2. Right-click on the QBprint.qbp file for your QuickBooks version and select Rename.
  3. Add the word old to the file name (i.e. QBPrint.qbp.old)
  4. Open your company file once again.
  5. Go to the File menu, then select Printer Setup.
  6. Select any transaction in the Form Name list and select OK. This will create a new QBprint.qbp file.

Once done, open your 1099s and try to print it again. 

 

Just in case you're still the same issue, I would recommend reaching out to our Payroll Support Team. They can take a closer look at this and look for other options that can resolve the issue. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Help menu and select Contact Us.
  2. Click Contact Us again at the bottom of the pop-up screen.
  3. Give a brief description of your issue, then select Let's talk.
  4. Choose between Chat with us and Have us call you.

 

Here's an article to get more details about their contact details: Contact Payroll Support.

 

I also have another set of articles to share as additional references when filing your forms:

This helps .. how?

 

If the software will perform this task for NEW company -- it indicates it cannot do it with data from MY company -- which tells me the problem is with the DATA FILE -- ALSO I as PROMISED a call back after FORTY PLUS HOURS and now they can't do that ---- and I'm supposed to start ALL OVER AGAIN? This is SIMPLE the QUICKBOOKS BUSINESS MODEL IS BUILT ON AN EXPECTATION THAT BUSINESSES WILL FAIL -- if your data file goes back, like mine does to Quickbooks 1.0, they don't care about you; I already had to have my  data file "fixed" about 10 years ago with this same issue; their first response was to that my data was "too old" and that was "my problem" -- they FINALLY agreed to "FIX" the date file and managed after NEARLY A MONTH.   Do you have any idea how hard it is to run a business without your books for a MONTH??? 

THEY ARE PLANNING FOR YOU TO FAIL -- IF YOU SUCCEED YOU ARE NOTHING TO THEM BUT OLD DATA and THEY DO NOT BOTHER TO WRITE THEIR UPDATES TO TAKE CARE OF YOU. CAVEAT EMPTOR.

As of today 01-08-2022, QBDT 2022 still printing only the old version 2-parts 1099NEC.

What is the problem????

I've come to provide information about your 1099 NEC form printing concern, @onetiger.

 

The QBDT system is now able to print 3 to a page for 1099-NEC. You'll have to make sure you're on the QuickBooks latest releases with the appropriate Ultra-Light Patches (ULIPs) applied or Critical Fixes.

 

Once you're done, go ahead and print your 1099-NEC forms. To do this, you can refer to this article: Print your 1099 forms.

 

Also, to learn more about 1099 boxes and answers to the most frequently asked questions about the form, I would encourage you to go over to these articles below:

 

Fill me in if you have further questions about updating your 1099 in QuickBooks. I'm just a post away and willing to help you in any way I can.

Thanks for joining this thread, Eric1234, and @ronnor.


I appreciate you for following the solution shared on this thread. I'm here to help ensure you can print your 1099s in the correct printing format.


We’ll have to get the updates from the web to get the patch for printing. This will download minor critical fixes for your QuickBooks.

 

Here’s how:

 

  1. Click here to access the Downloads & Updates page.
  2. From the Select Country drop-down, pick your country.
  3. Pick your product from the Select Product drop-down.
  4. Choose your QuickBooks version or year in the Select Version drop-down.
  5. Click the Search menu.
  6. Press the Get updates button and save the file where you can easily find it.

 

Once the download finishes, open the file to launch the update. After installing it, restart your computer.


I know my colleague already provided this article above, but let me share this one again: Update QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release. It contains detailed instructions on how to keep your software up-to-date manually or automatically.


For future reference, the following resource will help you get on top in filing your taxes and forms: Year-end checklist for QuickBooks Desktop Payroll. This write-up contains the filing dates for your federal tax forms, as well as links for each payroll task.


Reach out to the Community again if you have any clarifications about printing your 1099 forms. I’ll be right here to answer them for you. Have a good one.

I have the newest version of Quickbooks and I'm up to date on my updates. My 1099's are still printing 2-part to a page rather than 3-part. So where is this fix?? I'm getting very frustrated as I've worked on this all day and gotten nowhere.

@Moclips and anyone else still having problems printing from an older data file. Just a thought, but I used to do this in the "old days" for one of my clients. Make a new company file and import or input the 1099 Vendors you need to print forms for. This can be done manually or by importing via an IIF file. Then enter one check with the total amount for each vendor, dated in 2021, enter the Company information and hopefully that will allow you to print in the new format. Of course, test it before you enter all the data.

My other work around is to install QB on another computer, copy your company file over and print the forms from there. 

I don't think QB Support is geared to help us with all of this as is evident in their cut and paste responses on this thread. Good luck to everyone!

I updated...again. Now when I try to print 1099 nec, it shows $0.00 for all vendors. If I try to continue, I get a message that says none of the payments have met the threshold for the 1099 misc, even though I selected the 1099 nec form. So, I don't know if I can print 3up because there are no $$ values, even though when I select an idividual vendor, all their payments show up. Please Help

I have QB Desktop Pro Plus 2022. I did exactly what you said. Everything is updated, computer rebooted. They still want to print two to a page for 1099 NEC. What now?

I probably will do this BUT, the interesting thing is this still happens BOTH with a new computer and restoring the company file to a new computer with a FULLY UPDATED software.  Which MEANS their dirty little secret is -- if, like me, you used this software from version 1.0 onward and PAID each and EVERY time there was an upgrade and PAID to have your software updated 10 years ago when the data was "too old" that you are AGAIN a victim of staying in business --- THE INTUIT BUSINESS MODEL DEPENDS ON COMPANIES GOING OUT OF BUSINESS WITHIN 5 YEARS, 15 AT THE MOST -- "Old" companies, like mine, are too few for them to care about ---- my "crime" is not that I haven't updated, or bought the latest software, or run the 'doctor' or the 'fix' or anything else -- I have done all this TWICE -- it is WHEN THEY DID THIS UPDATE THEY DID NOT WRITE IT SO THAT 'OLD' COMPANIES WITH 1099 VENDORS THAT GO BACK MORE THAN 30 YEARS CAN BE USED ---- INTUIT'S BUSINESS MODEL DEPENDS ON THE FAILURE OF YOUR COMPANY.  CAVEAT EMPTOR.

Hi there, CRF3.

I am very frustrated over this issue.  I have never had this in the past.  It seems that Intuit should get this issue fixed ASAP and inculde it in an update.  We should not have to reinstall or jump through hoops to get this very basic function fixed.  I know some of you have had success getting the 1099 printing to work, but I have not and I am sure others are in the same position.  Please fix this and send an update.  Maybe tomorrow!  Thank you.

I have Desktop Enterprise, am a Quickbooks Proadvisor and I have done the updates multiple times.  When I close QB and restart it, I do not get any message asking to install the updates.  When I go to the help menu, install updates, update now, my Critical Fixes is checked but shows install pending, as does Move Quickbooks and File Doctor.  When will this be fixed?

I do not use QB Payroll, nor have I in the past, yet I've been able to print to required IRS format. When will this be fixed?

How precisely is this "HELP"?
I DO NOT have a Mac.

 

I have downloaded every single update.

I have upgraded to the most recent version of Desk Pro Plus 2022

AND TWICE updated all the update that could be done.

DO YOU THINK I WOULD BE HERE AND ON THE PHONE FOR 40 HOURS IF I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO CREATE 1099'S ---- THE SOFTWARE WILL NOT WORK WITH MY 25+ YEAR OLD COMPANY FILE -- THIS IS QUICKBOOKS; IT IS NOT ME --- THE SOFTWARE MAKES 1099'S FOR A "NEW" COMPANY - THIS IS NOT AN UPDATE ISSUE FOR THE 500TH TIME -- I NEED AN ENGINEER TO MAKE THE DATE COMPATIBLE WITH AN UPDATE THAT WAS NOT WRITTEN TO INCLUDE OLDER COMPANIES BECAUSE INTUIT'S BUSINESS MODEL DEPENDS ON FAILURE.
