Hi there, @CH77
I can assist you with your concern regarding e-filing 1099 NEC from QB Desktop for the first time. You mentioned that you do not want QB to send or email the forms to the contractors.
After you prepare your forms, you'll choose to file them online or print and mail them to the IRS. Likewise, you'll also choose if you want to email copies to your contractors or mail them printed 1099 copies. If you file forms through QuickBooks, they will be automatically emailed if you invite or include an email from the contractor.
Now that you've prepared and verified that the information is correct on your 1099s, it’s time to e-file.
- After preparing your 1099s, select the E-File option and verify your 1099s.
- Follow the on-screen steps to complete your 1099 e-file. You'll also be able to review each contractor's 1099.
- If prompted, choose the delivery option for your contractor's copies. If you don't see this option, you've already opted-in to provide your contractors online access to their 1099s when you added them to QuickBooks. If an email address is incorrect, you'll need to update then go back through the 1099 e-file flow.
Note: The paper version of Copy A of Form 1099 is for your records. You shouldn't print or mail this form to the IRS.
