can you help me figure out how to submit a 1099 NEC for my staff in a state that requires me to file directly?

Hello, kellyw2.

Thanks for reaching out about filing 1099-NECs in a state that requires direct filing. Let me guide you through the steps.

There are eight states with specific requirements for the direct filing of 1099 forms. The general process involves downloading the 1099 forms from the QuickBooks 1099 Filings Tax Center, which is available by January 15. Once downloaded, you can either mail the forms directly to the state or file them electronically through the state’s online portal.  

The method you’ll use depends on the specific filing rules and the number of forms you're submitting.

Here's how to download the 1099-NECs after submitting the federal filing through QuickBooks:

1. Navigate to the All apps menu.   
2. Go to the Expenses & Bills menu.  
3. Click on 1099s.      
4. From there, click Completed forms.
   
   
5. Choose the appropriate Current filings.
6. Under the ACTIONS column, click View for the specific form and download it from there.

For more specific instructions based on the state where you’re filing, please refer to the File your state 1099 forms article. Simply scroll to the States partially or not supported section and locate the steps for your state to follow the filing instructions.
