I appreciate you for joining us here in the Community, @SunshineBe77829.

It's my goal to help you print your 1099 form. The best way to do this is to download and fill out the form from the website. 

Being able to print the 1099 forms in the system is only available to the supported versions (2018-2021) of QuickBooks Desktop. 

To give you more insights regarding the discontinuation policy of the old QBDT versions together with what to do if you wish to upgrade your plan in the future, feel free to check out this link: QuickBooks Desktop service discontinuation policy and upgrade information.

Please know that you can always get back to me if there's anything else that you need. Have a nice day!

I am getting really frustrated with QB Intuit!!!.I use 2019 desktop version.I can't get 1099 Wizard to update  the new 1099-NEC...I have read numerous posts on what to do but without any results!!

I still get the wizard update when I click on print 1099..it does not give me an option anymore for either 1099-misc or 1099-NEC. 

I dont use or have ever used payroll services either...I tried calling a tech support agent and after 20 minutes still had no answer...how am I supposed to get my contract labor their 1099 if I can't get them on QB!!!!

We want to get to the bottom of this as much as you do, Philinda2.

You can pull up and print 1099-NEC without payroll services. I know you've tried to contact us already. However, I still suggest reaching out to us again to have this better checked. Please be reminded of the support hours so you can get in touch with a live agent.

Let me share some articles that can help you with 1099s:

• Create and file 1099s with QuickBooks Desktop
• How do I print my 1099 forms?

You're always welcome to post in the Community if you have other concerns. We'll reply as soon as we can.

Even though I have several people I paid over $600, quickbooks is not allowing me to print the 1099 NEC forms.  This seems to be a software glitch.  I'm not going to pay the $2.90/form fee to do it online as I already have my printed forms.   How is this going to be addressed?

My vendors are in QB, but I am still unable to print their 1099 NECs.  This seems to be a software glitch.  Can QB simply give us a code to waive the electronic filing fee?

This is not the impression we want you to experience, TimPottorf.

I've checked here on our end and there's no reported case where customers can't print their 1099 NEC form. To better isolate this issue, let's perform some basic troubleshooting steps. Downloading the latest tax table is a good place to start when it comes to fixing 1099-related issues in QuickBooks. Then, update your QuickBooks Desktop to its latest release to synchronize the changes. Here's how:

1. Click Help at the top menu bar and choose Update QuickBooks Desktop.
2. Go to the Update Now tab.
3. Select the Reset Update and click Get Updates to start the download.
4. Once done. Hit OK and restart QuickBooks.
5. When prompted, accept the option to install the new release.

Once done, try printing the 1099 NEC form again. See the Create and file 1099s with QuickBooks Desktop article for more details. If the same thing happens, there may be damaged data on the company file you've been working with. We can run the Rebuild Data tool is built-in to fix any company file data issues.  Just follow the steps and detail in his article: Fix data damage on your QuickBooks Desktop company file.

If the problem persists, I'd suggest contacting our Technical Support Team. They'll pull up your account in a secure environment and investigate what's causing this issue. To ensure we address your concern, our representatives are available from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM on weekdays and 6:00 AM - 3:00 PM on Saturdays, PST. See our support hours and types for more details about this one. 

Feel free to visit our QuickBooks Help Articles page for more insight about managing your business in your software.

I'd like to know how things went after contacting our support agent, as I want to ensure this is resolved for you. Feel free to reply to this post and I'll get back to you. Take care always.

Hi

I wanted to ask if using the 1099NEC instead of the 1099MISC will result in the person having to pay self-employment tax. The person I am issuing the 1099 to is the employee of the company I lease my equipment to and I am sending the 1099 because of any bonus money paid to said person.

Hi

I have had the same issue. Help not useful. Not one person I talked to at intuit QB, could simply say that 1099MISC had been replaced with 1099NEC. I checked the IRS.gov site and found this out on my own. I did get one guy that said the system picked correctly based on the info I provided but not that this was new this year.

I do not use payroll either. 

I used the software that comes up when you search the term "1099 software" and used intuit QB because I already had the account. It cost me $13.99 if I recall correctly.

The mistake I now have to figure out is that I signed up for intuitQB online before I filed the 1099NEC and feel that the payment should transfer over to this account or be refunded.

I will not do this too soon because I am too frustrated and will end up saying something that will end in me never getting satisfaction from this company.

I have a 2017 version of the Desktop program that I never could figure out how to use and now it will not connect with my bank, thus the online setup. 

Kind of expensive, since I am the bookkeeper but hopefully more free assistance than the desktop version:)

Hello, 

I am working on getting out the 1099-MISC and the Misc. Wizard update is not working or delay.

I did look for the file as the previous person mention in her post. But I cant move forward processing the 1099 MISC.

Are there any problems with the updates?

Thanks, 

Pablo

Hi there, DixieBoss. 

Thanks for dropping by the Community this afternoon. I'm happy to assist you. Employees are likely subject to self-employment tax under the 1099-NEC, I'm also happy to include the differences between both the 1009 NEC and the 1099 MISC. Form 1099-NEC, Nonemployee Compensation, is a form that solely reports nonemployee compensation. Form 1099-NEC is not a replacement for Form 1099-MISC. Form 1099-NEC is only replacing the use of Form 1099-MISC for reporting independent contractor payments. Below I'm including a helpful article for you to check out regarding both filing forms. 

• How to modify your chart of accounts for your 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC filing.

If you have any other questions, feel free to post here or reach out to our support team as they can answer more personalized questions about your specific account. Thank you for your time and I hope you have a lovely day.

To ensure that we are clear on the process  - the backup is only a formality.  Saving a backup does not affect your ability to send changes back to your clients.  You won't actually restore the backup.

However, updating the QuickBooks file will affect your ability to send Accountant's changes back. 

The process I would use in this case is to send the Accountant change file to the client if I'd made any changes.  Have the client accept the changes, then update their QuickBooks to the latest release, close QB and reboot, then reopen their company file, which will make the NEC process available in QB.   I would then have them send me a new Accountant's copy so I could do the 1099s.  

The order of this process is very important.  I do very little with Accountant's Copies anymore - most of my clients are on remote access, but the one time I updated the Accountant's Copy file before sending my change file back, I learned a really important lesson.  I had to redo weeks of work.  Now I regularly send changes in short bursts so I don't get burned!

@beccawebster That didn't happen with any of my companies - not sure why your preference would turn off.  You don't need to buy an upgrade for this unless you are working in a program earlier than 2018/

deleted due to duplication

@DixieBoss  The 2017 version is too old to connect to any services.  You will not be able to connect it to your bank feed.  I would recommend that you upgrade to the newest version of QuickBooks and consult with a ProAdvisor (before doing so) to ensure that you are in the right product, can effectively use the program in a manner that is beneficial to you and produces the information you need for tax compliance, and aren't wasting your time and money.  You can do that here:  https://quickbooks.intuit.com/find-an-accountant/

@TreeDown QB Pro 2021 (1 user) is available from Amazon at a slight discount.  You don't need payroll to run 1099s and it sounds like that is what they are trying to sell you.   Unless you actually need to run payrolls, but if you are still using 2017, I have to assume that you don't run payroll.

Pro Plus includes an annual upgrade, which you may or may not need enough to pay for an annual subscription.  But it also includes unlimited tech support, which is a nice feature.

I am still unclear what I need to run 1099NEC, have read many differing opinions.  All I want to do is be able to run 1099NEC’s from the program like I used to do with the 1099MISC form.  I do not currently run payroll, nor do I now need, or in the future need to run payroll.  I do not want to pay the extra to purchase payroll, just to run 1099NEC!  Nor do I want to update to 2021 version if it will not run 1099NEC

I do not wish to re-chart my accounts, that will foul up tax reporting for my accountant.  Sure wish someone fro QB would come up with a clear answer.  Many need to know this.

I am currently working with an accountants copy. Does this have an affect on e-filing the 1099's ?

Hello Dixie, 

I am currently using QuickBooks Premier Edition 2018 with Enhance Payroll.

I thought that I saw the the options under the vendor tab, to e-file and print a few weeks ago and now they are gone.

I feel the same way too. I just want to e-file and print the 1099's.

The message I am getting when I try to update 1099 

Hello,

This issue for Desktop version 2021 is not working.  I was on the phone over 4 hours with representatives from QBs this past week.  At the end of it they told me my form was defective and directed me to purchase forms through QBs.  I have printed these forms (1099s) for 15 years using QBs and never had this issue.

Please have someone in the programming department update the 2021 version so that the 1099 NECs can print correctly.

Thank you

Thank you, @valprice1 - I appreciate your thorough and thoughtful response! 

I thought by creating a backup you were not longer working in an accountant's copy, so this is excellent news! We inform our clients to run the updates BEFORE sending the file, if they do not, than, after wasting time opening the files, we have them remove restriction and send a new onw. `

Now, if only I could get the plugin to work for at least 1 client (I have tried with several in house clients to no avail).

I appreciate your help! 

Do we have to re-install the plugin for every client we run 1099s for?

I am confused - last year when I would open a file the certificate would pop up upon opening and I would just accept the terms (typically selecting ask me every time I open a file) - I am now not getting this and am unable to run 1099s in other clients files.

Steps I have taken:

Updated QB

Found the latest Payroll Updates

Reinstalled Tax1099 Plugin

Run the QB file as Admin

Backed up the QB files

But, every time, it is asking me to login and download the plugin. I understand the process has changed, but this is absolute craziness that nothing about the process is seamless or the same as last year. There are NO video tutorials anywhere and we are 1/2 way through January. 

I guess manual data entry via another system will be my best bet as this is really frustrating and has wasted hours of my time. 

Anyone else? 

@kathyhettick I'm so exhausted that I'm getting confused, but I think the plugin is specific to the actual company file and the web connector application pops up the certificate when you open the new company file.  

If the file is on a server environment, you must use the web connector file and you'll undoubtedly need to update the actual web connector first since all of mine were too old to work with Tax1099.  (Web Connector Download here.)
