I can't even get two on one page, I'm only getting one?

If not yet, you can follow the instructions below to update your QuickBooks Desktop on the latest release with appropriate Ultra-Light Patches (ULIP) or Critical Fixes. Doing this will help you display and print your 1099-NEC in the new and correct format.

We have multiple companies on our Quickbooks program. One is printing 1099s three to a page the other is not. Any idea why this is happeing?

Printing 3-part of your 1099's is our top priority, SDA55.

QuickBooks Desktop printing for 1099's, works better when your product information shows the release version and extension below:

• QB 2022 R3_(71+)
• QB 2021 R8_(62+)
• QB 2020 R13_(39+)
• QB 2019 R16_(55+) 

If your product information shows the release version and extension for your product year above or higher, you'll be able print  the 3-part 1099 forms without issues. If not, as always mentioned on this thread, you'll have to update QuickBooks to the latest release. I've outlined the steps below:

1. Go to the Help menu and select Update QuickBooks Desktop.
2. Go to the Update Now tab. Tip: You MUST select the Reset Update checkbox to clear all previous update downloads.
3. Select Get Updates to start the download.

5. When prompted, accept the option to install the new release.

After the update, go to the 1099 Wizard and print Form 1099-NEC. For more troubleshooting steps in fixing printing issues in QuickBooks, read this article for your reference: Troubleshoot Issues With Printing And PDF Files.

People this works !! I’ve been struggling with print ing them and tried this this morning and got them all printed! The sample form shuts down but you can print on plain paper and hold it up to see if it aligns with the forms! Mine aligned perfectly!  I think the reset update is what needs to be checked to work!! Thank you!

So it is 1/23/22 - 1099s are due in a week and we still don't have an update?????? for the NECs

This should not be an issue since every other company has 3 part printing.

I can help you with printing your 1099-NEC form, @Marbury1.

You should now be able to print 3 to a page for 1099-NEC. All you need to do is make sure you are on the latest releases with the appropriate critical fixes. 

Here are the releases required to print 1099 NEC forms in QuickBooks Desktop for Windows:

• QuickBooks 2022/Enterprise 22 - R3_71 (or later)
• QuickBooks 2021/Enterprise 21 - R8_62 (or later)
• QuickBooks 2020/Enterprise 20 - RR13_39 (or later)
• QuickBooks 2019/Enterprise 19 - R16_55 (or later)

Here's how to get these critical fixes:

1. Go to the Help menu and click Update QuickBooks Desktop.
2. Select the Options tab and click Mark All, then Save.
3. Click on the Update Now tab.
4. Make sure Critical Fixes is checked.
5. Click on Get Updates.

When the update is finished, close and reopen QuickBooks Desktop. Click Yes to install the updates, then restart your computer.

Once the latest release is available, here's a reference on how to print your 1099s and provide copies to your contractors: Print your 1099 forms.

Also, you'll want to know how to access and print your other tax forms to save a copy for future use. Please refer to this article for the detailed steps: View and print payroll tax forms.

I'm always here if you have questions about your forms. Just let me know by leaving a reply below. Have a great rest of the day!

Utterly ridiculous. I just purchased the 2022 Desktop subscription to be able to print the 1099-NEC.  It still prints 2 to a page.  Is Intuit just trying to rip customers off?  I have been a loyal customer of Intuit for years, but it is absurd that you cannot have an update to resolve the problem. Clearly these have to be to recopients by Feb 1.  It is Jan 23rd and still no fix.  Get on the ball Intuit!  I should get a refund!!!

I want to ensure this is taken care of, @qhorse.

To print 1099-NEC into 3 pages, you'll have to update your QuickBooks on the latest release with the appropriate critical fixes.

You can check and follow the steps given by my colleague above on how to get the critical fixes.

However, if the issue persists, I'd recommend getting in touch with our Customer Support team again. This way, they can pull up your account in a secure environment and help check why you're still unable to print the 1099-NEC after updating QuickBooks Desktop and provide troubleshooting to fix this.

1. Select QuickBooks Desktop Help from the Help menu.

2. Click Contact Us.

3. Type in a short description of your concern, then Continue.

4. Choose a way to connect with support.

I do not see where there was a response regarding how to fix this issue for QuickBooks Online. Can you please advise how to fix this with the online "Accountant" version? 

Thanks for joining this thread and knowing more details on how to print 1099- NEC in 3 pages in QuickBooks Online, @chicaccounting.

For QuickBooks Online, you'll have to buy the pre-printed forms that are compatible with QuickBooks to avoid any error. From there, you can now print the 3-page form of 1099. You can get a compatible pre-printed kit from this link: https://www.intuitmarket.intuit.com/tax-forms/1099-forms.

Also, you can manually align the form and choose three (3) horizontal then zero (0) vertical to be able to print the form. Our engineers were also made aware of the issue and are working to update the page accordingly. 

 I'll be sharing these articles that contain a complete set of instructions on how to print and fill the form:

•  Instructions for Forms 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC
• Year-end Checklist For QuickBooks Online Payroll 
• Year-end Guide for QuickBooks Online 

I'll be here to lend a hand if you have follow-up questions or any QuickBooks concerns. Have a good one, @chicaccounting

This worked for me! Thanks for the tip!

It is unacceptable that QB will not have this format printable until the day before the due date.

I did all of the updates including critical fixes and reset updates, restarted computer and nothing works for QB Pro 2021 or 2018

I appreciate you for trying the steps shared by my colleagues, nancysellers.

Let's ensure that you're logged in as the administrator when updating the file to the latest release. If the same thing happens, verify the release version and extension for your product year to check the capability to print the 3-part 1099 forms. These are  the versions that supports the 3-part 1099 forms:

• QB 2022 R3_(71+)
• QB 2021 R8_(62+)
• QB 2020 R13_(39+)
• QB 2019 R16_(55+) 

Once the update has been installed, go to the 1099 Wizard and print Form 1099-NEC.

I'll be around whenever you need help in printing forms. Keep safe!

I own an Accounting & Tax Prep Firm, I am the Accountant listed & my clients (32 total) are on my QuickBooks Online Accountant wholesale account; so I am the administrator. The only option is 2-up & I have 846 of these forms to get printed & mailed out ASAP. I am not on a desktop version, I am QBO

Listen to me please ma'am. This does not work; and honestly the amount of times things have "not worked" over the past 2 years within QuickBooks Online or Desktop is disturbing  

It is now 1/24/22 and we have to file 1099-NEC's soon. I have run all the updates according to the instructions and still only get 2 vendors per page whereas the new form is 3 vendors per page. When will this be fixed?? It's very urgent now.

I recognize the hurdle you've been through in fixing the issue for 1099-NEC form printing, @chicaccounting.

When I tried printing 1099-NEC in QuickBooks Online, I noticed that it's printing three contractors per page.

However, the Select a form type and print page is still showing two per page, regardless of the fact that it hasn't been updated. You simply need to continue printing the form with the graphic or indicator indicating that there are two pages per page.

Our product engineers are already aware of the issue and are looking into updating the page accordingly. 

Let me also add this article about IRS for more details about 1099-NEC: Instructions for Forms 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC.

Feel free to keep us updated if you have other concerns with 1099 or QuickBooks. The Community has your back always. Take the best care!

Apparently we have all tried your "fixes" and still having issues. I have one company on version 2018 not working, one on 2022 not working, three on 2022 working. I have had our IT consultant try and still not working. 

Telling us the same thing over and over, or advise that we look at the IRS instructions is crazy. Assume we are all professionals and have a clue to what we are doing. 

Telling everyone to upgrade, of course spending more money with you, does not work,

Maybe get your engineers to find an answer. The 1099s must be mailed next Monday.

I have read all the messages, and no matter what I can't get my 2021 QB Desktop to show R8_(62+). Even after all the updates it is at R8_51. Therefore no matter what I do I get 2 vendors per page and not 2 on my 1099-NEC. HELP!!!!

I've followed your directions and still can only print 2 1099 forms per page. I MUST have 3 per page as that is the only format available. How do I do this?

Daniel Corleto

I've not been so lucky ... tried the Reset but no go. Sooo enraging. I hate wasting my time on this. It should be effortless 

I've tried the Rest Update over and over again, still only 2 per page. What do I do? Time is running out!!!!
