1099 EFile

Hello there, bguthrie34.

I've got insights to ensure you can e-file your 1099 in QuickBooks Desktop efficiently.

Since the tax box for the individual vendor was unchecked due to errors, you'll need to go back to the Print/E-file 1099 Forms page. Then, check the tax box for each vendor manually. This is done to guarantee that you can print all of the information required when filing a 1099.

On the other hand, please note QuickBooks offers the ability to back up your file so that you always have a copy of your original data. If you completed this process before the errors, you can restore it to retrieve the illegible vendors for 1099, which you can then use to e-file your tax form.

Here's how to restore your data:

1. Go to the File menu and select Open or Restore Company.
2. Choose Restore a backup copy and then Next.
3. Select Local Backup and Next.
4. Browse your computer for your backup company file. It should look like this: [Your company name].qbb.
5. Select a folder to decide where to save your restored company file. Then select Open.
6. When you're ready, click Save. If you see any messages about possibly overwriting your data, select the option that best fits your needs. Don't overwrite anything unless you know you want to.

Without going back and restoring, which would over write any activity  since I printed these a few weeks back, I need to go and edit each vendor and start all over again and just E file and not worry about printing.

So your saying if I don't restore I need to edit each vendor and start the process over again and just not print them and let it go straight to E file

Thanks for replying and clarifying your concern, @bguthrie34. Let me help you further with e-filing your 1099 in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

In response to your question, I can confirm that if you choose not to restore the process, you can manually check the tax box for each vendor. I should also mention that you can still e-file the 1099 successfully even if you decide not to print it. Since you're going to use electronic filing, there's no need to print the 1099 unless you need a personal copy of the 1099.

Additionally, you can visit this link as your future reference for handling 1099 issues inside QBDT: Troubleshoot missing contractors or wrong amounts on 1099s.
