Getting copy of IRS form 1096 when using e-file

I chose to use Intuit e-file for my 1099s this year and have copies of the 1099s but did not see the 1096. Is it not needed when e-filing?

    Hi there, @dasteele42.

     

    I have just the clarification you're looking for. According to the IRS's most recent publication on Form 1096, those that file their 1099-MISC forms electronically (such as with Intuit's E-file service) do not need to submit a 1096. For more information regarding the service, please refer to our 1099's E-file FAQ here.

     

    Please keep in touch with me here should you have any additional questions, I want to ensure your success. Thanks for coming to the Community and take care.

      The State of NH Employment Security just audited my business. Because I have e-filed my 1099s I have not recieved 1096s. The state was asking for 2020 (it is now 2023) information and I need to get access to past year 1096s

      Good day, @FrostPond. I see the importance of accessing your 1096s.

       

      Let me help you sort things out. Since you've e-filed your 1099s, form 1096 will be submitted as well.  This means you don't need to file Form 1096s.

       

      You might want to check the filing status of your submitted 1099, you can click this link: 1099 E-File Service.

       

      Know that, you'll only be required to file form 1096 if you didn't e-file your 1099s. You can print copies to mail to the federal and state governments, plus print and send a copy to your contractors.

       

      Feel free to read this article for more details: Print your 1099 and 1096 forms.

       

      I'm also adding this article to learn which taxes and tax forms Intuit handles for your business and how to view past filed forms:

       

       

      If you have additional questions about 1096s or any related concerns, never hesitate to reply to this post. I'll be willing to lend a hand. Take care and have a blessed week!

      Let's get you a copy of the old 1099s, Latintax.

       

      I'd also like to ask if you e-filed the forms through QuickBooks? If so, you can follow these steps on how to access previously filed and archived tax forms: 

       

      1. Go to this link: https://iop.intuit.com/login/login.jsf?only1099=1. 
      2. Enter your Intuit login credentials. 
      3. Click Sign In. 
      4. Select View past forms page. 
      5. Print the form. that you need.

       

      You can also save these articles just in case you might need them at the end of the year:
