Hasn’t worked yet 

I need to print 3 to a page. I followed your instructions. There was nothing new to install on the critical fixes and it still is showing 2 to a page.

I have updated my desktop 2020 version and continue to see 2 part 1099 only. Please help.

Hi there, kcg1

I appreciate you for performing the updates to fix this issue.

Since the issue persists, I'd recommend reaching out to our Phone Support team. Our agent there can do a screen-shar with you to validate what causes this concern.

You can reach out to them through the Help menu.

Once everything's fine, you can take a look at this article for more information on printing 1099: Print your 1099 forms.

I'll be around whenever you need help. Stay safe!

Friends, I feel your pain. Have been dealing with this issue on my colleagues' computers all afternoon. Having just successfully "fixed" this issue on two computers, I thought that I'd share what worked on both of those machines. Perhaps it will be a fix for a few of you. I know that this will sound like a repeat of the same old fix that hasn't worked for most of you, but there is something about the order in which it's done that has worked for me.

1. Update QuickBooks, making sure to check the Reset Updates box on the Update Now tab.

2. Update the payroll subscription.

3. Close QuickBooks and run the QuickBooks Tool Hub. Click on the Program Problems tab and Quick Fix My Program. There is a link to the QBTH in a previous post on this thread.

4. Open QuickBooks as with Administrator privileges. (Right-click on the icon and select Run as Administrator.) In my environment, I was unable to open a company file when I ran as Administrator, but I could see that the program was updating as it was opening. So, I did not open a company file. Once the program opened, I closed it.

5. Open QuickBooks as normal and open your company file.

I am sure that this will not be a panacea for every single one of you, but this worked for me today on two separate computers, when I followed these exact steps in this exact order. I truly hope it helps someone.

talked with support online without results. 
Hard to believe a new 1099-NEC is not accommodated. 

I have followed the instructions for critical updates & restarting.

1099 NECs still print two per page.

Any guidance?

Did all the steps and the system is still printing 2 part 1099 nec

Let's make sure to fix this issue, 4382004.

I know how you want to resolve this at the soonest possible time. As enumerated by @JamesBCPA above, those possible fixes may have worked for others and to some may not. You'll just have to make sure to update QuickBooks to the latest release. I've outlined the steps below:

1. Go to the Help menu and select Update QuickBooks Desktop.
2. Go to the Update Now tab. Tip: You can select the Reset Update checkbox to clear all previous update downloads.
3. Select Get Updates to start the download.
4. When the download finishes, restart QuickBooks.
5. When prompted, accept the option to install the new release.

Also, make sure to get the latest payroll tax table. Then, you can follow the rest of the steps mentioned if it still doesn't work. However, if it's still printing two per page, I suggest reaching out to our support team so they can double-check this further. They have the tools to pull up your account in a secure environment. 

Additionally, you encounter issues when you can't print, email, or save as a PDF file in QuickBooks. I've got this article that will help you fix the issue: Troubleshoot PDF and Print Problems With QuickBooks.

This did not work for me.  It is still wanting to print on a two per page format.  Tax Season Hell.

I am in that same boat.  Same results

You are the best.  That was what finally worked for me as well.

i cannot print the 3 to page 1099 NECs and i have done the updates as listed below. any ideas on what might be going wrong?

i don't think i was very clear in my last reply to the issue of printing 1099-NECs in QBDT21. i have only two clients in QBDT21 and about 10 in QBDT19. the 1099-NECs 3 to a page printed successfully out of QBDT19 but not in QBDT21. the 1099-MISC 2 to a page printed fine in QBDT21 so i am guessing it's the 3 to a page issue for the 1099-NECs which QBs says is solved by doing the critical update. i have done the update and it has not solved my problem.is anyone else having this issue in QBDT2021? i was going to update all clients but now am not so sure i want to move forward. QBDT19 seems to be working just fine for now!

Hi, JaneKell.

Have you tried out the steps provided by my peers above, like updating QuickBooks to its newest release version and downloading the latest payroll tax table?

If so, let's run the QuickBooks PDF & Print Repair Tool. This tool will help us resolve common printing issues in QuickBooks Desktop.

Before we proceed, let's download the QuickBooks Tool Hub first. Here's how to do it:

1. Close QBDT.
2. Download the most recent version of the QuickBooks Tool Hub. Save it somewhere you can easily find it (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, open the Tool Hub to run the QuickBooks PDF & Print Repair Tool. Here's how:

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

After that, go back to the 1099 Wizard and print Form 1099-NEC. For more information about fixing printing issues in QuickBooks, consider checking out this article: Troubleshoot Issues With Printing And PDF Files.

When you update your QB, make sure to click on "Update now" and then check "Reset update". If you don't check "Reset update", you can't be able to get the latest updated 1099 to print 3 page tops. 

When you update it, please make sure to click on "Update now" and check "reset update" . Otherwise it won't work. For some reason QB employees are missing to tell you to check "rest update" from their instruction. Good luck. I can be able to print 1099 three page tops

Just tried to print out 1099 NEC for 2021 in my 2022 version of QB online, and it is only showing 2 to a page when the tax forms have 3 to a page. I have all the latest updates, so that is not the issue.

I appreciate you for trying the steps shared by my colleagues, accounting80108.

Since you're still unable to print 3 pages of the 1099 forms, I'd recommend reaching out to our Phone Support team. One of our agents there can do a screen-share with you and verify what causes the issue.

You can follow the steps shared by JonpriL to contact us.
