This is a frustrating response.  Even though QBOL says that the status is "Emailed, mailed," my contractors have not received an email saying that their 1099 was accepted by the IRS and inviting them to view it.  Nor have they received anything via USPS mail. My question was "how can I confirm that the 1099s were accepted and approved by the IRS, then actually mailed?"  Who can I talk to or who can point me to info show the date of the acceptance or the date of the mailing?  I need some data!

@Rasa-LilaM Perhaps you did not see my reply yesterday because I did not include your name.  How can I get the data that shows when the 1099s were emailed and mailed to my contractors?  

Second question: Can I provide my contractors with the link to the forms, or just print them out and send them to the contractors?  What is safe to do?

Hi there, PLCtreas.

Allow me to join the thread and provide information on when will your contractors receive a copy of their 1099 form.

All 1099 forms are mailed by January 31 to the residential address in the contractor's profile. However, if your contractor hasn't received their 1099 form within 7 business days after January 31, you may print their 1099 form using these steps:

1. On your QuickBooks Online account, go to the Taxes menu.
2. Choose 1099 filings.
3. Select View 1099 to view a PDF copy.

On the other hand, if you invite your contractor to enter their W9 info, they can create a QuickBooks Self-Employed account for free. This way, they can view the 1099 form after filing them and they'll get an email when it's ready. Once ready, they can go to the Clients menu and select the Forms tab to view your 1099-MISC. For more details, check out this article: Fill out a W-9 and view your 1099-MISC in QuickBooks Self-Employed.

Still nothing... Are we all going to get fined by the IRS? I e-filed on 01/22 and nobody has received anything yet, not even the one I mailed to myself.

Hello,

What about "pending" status??

Hi there, @Sam218.

Let me share what Pending status means when e-filing your forms in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

The Pending status means that your e-filed form is on its way, and the government has yet to accept or reject it. If you e-filed your return before the IRS starts processing returns this year, it'll stay in pending status until then. After that, e-filed returns generally sit in for a specific time before being accepted or rejected.

After that, you can review the statuses of the payroll tax forms and payments that you submitted electronically through QuickBooks. Here’s how:

1. Go to the Taxes menu and select Payroll Tax.
2. Select Filings and click Filter to choose the form or report you want to see. 
3. Scroll to the filings under Done and see the status next to the tax name.

I added this article for your reference for each filing status you may see in the application: Check the status of your payroll tax payments or filings sent through QuickBooks Payroll.

Moreover, if you want to make corrections to your 1099s, I added an article below to guide you in every step you need to take. You can also print them out if you prefer to:

• Correct or change 1099s in QuickBooks 
• Print your 1099 and 1096 forms
