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.

Thank you for the explanation. I just got worried about 1096 and posted a separate question. Still please confirm - State of California will also NOT require 1096 if I filed my 1099-misc from QB online?

I already e-filed 2019 1099's and paid for them. This step is requiring me to pay again. I am only wanting a copy of the 1096 form that automatically gets filed with the QB online e-file system. Please advise and direct. Thank you


Hello, @flaviolima2001.

 

When getting a copy of the Form 1096, you shouldn't be asked to pay again since you've already e-filed and paid your 1099 form. Just make sure to click the Print button, not E-file.

 

For your detailed guide, follow the steps provided above, or check out this article.

 

If you're still asked to pay again, try printing a copy using a private window. Sometimes, the regular browser tends to hold onto information and over time can cause issues while working with QuickBooks.

 

To save you time, use either of these keyboard shortcuts:

 

  • Mozilla Firefox: press Ctrl Shift P
  • Internet Explorer: press Ctrl Shift P
  • Safari: press Command Shift +N

If that works fine from there, go back to your original browser and clear its cache to start fresh. Also, using other supported browsers can help us narrow the cause of this behavior.

 

Let me know if you have any other questions. I'm a post away to help. Have a good day!

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:
