does e-filing 1099s send copies to recipients?

wonderful, thanks so much for confirming!

Unfortunately, it doesn't state that the 1099s will be mailed to the contractor until you check out and choose view submitted 1099s. In the past, the QB system stated that copies would be mailed during the purchase process. Maybe QuickBooks needs to state that they will be mailed in the boxes during the check-out process.

What if you e-filed after January 28th?

Does recipient's copy still mailed?

Thanks for joining the thread, @Fsusa. We'll share clarifications about e-filing 1099s inside QuickBooks Online (QBO Payroll.

Before anything else, please know we recognize the importance of this matter and want to ensure we're providing you with the details you need. Although 1099s are due to the IRS and your contractors by January 31, please know it's best to e-file it before January 28 at 5:00 PM PT.

I E-filed our 1099s on February 8th.  Does QBO still mail paper copies?  How soon do they go out and is it by 1st class USPS?  I have one recipient saying they cannot get the Intuit 1099 to open.

Thanks

Hello, @Fernborough. I appreciate you joining the thread.

I can share information if QuickBooks Online (QBO) still sends physical mailed copies of the 1099s for submission made on February 8. I'm also here to help resolve why your contractor can't access their account to view their 1099. 

Yes, your recipients will still receive physical copies of their 1099s if you e-filed using QBO even after the January 28 deadline. However, please know that there's no guarantee that it will be received on time. 

Your recipients should receive the physical copy of the 1099 within 7-10 business days from its postmarked date. If your recipients aren't able to receive the physical copies within this timeframe, I recommend contacting our Payroll Support for assistance. You can also inquire to them about the specific USPS service that QBO uses. 

If it was your contractor who filled out their W9, they can access their account using the same email address. Can I ask if there's any specific error your contractor received while accessing their account? For now, you can consider asking them to use an incognito or other supported browsers and ensuring that they use the same email address.

When you're ready to close your previous fiscal year and prepare for the new one, let me add this article as a reference: Year-end guide for QuickBooks Online.
