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?

      Thanks for joining this thread, LeeAnna.

       

      Let me share some clarifications regarding the submission of the 1096 form.

       

      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 1096.

       

      You can visit this article for more information regarding the service: 1099's E-file FAQ here.

       

      If you want to make sure the 1099s are submitted, you'll receive an email with your filing status after you file your 1099s to the IRS

       

      You can also check your 1099 E-File account to see your filing status. Here's a list of the statuses and what they mean:

      • Not Submitted: Haven't e-file the 1099s with the IRS. 
      • Submitted: You have e-filed with the IRS. 
      • Received by IRS: IRS has received the information. They are either processing it, or it has already been approved. 

      In case you need a handy reference about the process of E-filing or printing and emailing your 1099s, here's a guide that can help you out: Create and file 1099s using QuickBooks Online. 

       

      I'm always up for additional questions. Let me know if you have one by leaving a comment below. Wishing you a great day ahead!


      Thank you for your answer, Charles.  I went back to the instructions you reference and I do see that it says no 1096 for e filed 1099's....but, I posed a question on here at the same time in another thread, and got a different answer from two other people on Intuit help - Mark_R and Rea_M, which is causing me the confusion.  Your answer is the only one that makes sense, especially when it is telling me that if I file them by paper now that they are e-filed and accepted, I will be fined by the IRS!  Plus, you, Charles, have admin status, so I would think that is the highest rank?  It is so confusing that I want to cry.

      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:
