eFile 1099 problem

I'm having trouble e-filing the 1099 for a vendor. At the last step, it says to update the tax ID and won't let me click the e-file button. Screenshot attached. The tax ID is correctly listed in the vendor details. What is the problem and how do I fix it? Thanks!

    I want to help E-file your 1099 form, @AlexC2022.

     

    Based on the screenshot you attached, we can simply click the box next to name. This way, the E-file button at the bottom will be enable and help you proceed in e-filing your 1099 form. 

     

    See screenshot below: 

     

    Additionally, I'll be sharing these links to help prepare and file your Federal 1099s with QuickBooks Online:

    It wouldn't allow me to check the box next to vendor name as long as the error was showing.

     

    But I figured it out! The tax ID in vendor details must include the dash, eg. xx-xxxxxxx. That is pretty annoying. Thanks for your time.

      I have spent days and hours with the QB support staff in trying to complete a 1099 for one employee.  I am issuing him a 1099 from a second business.  His first went through just fine.  All other employees on the second business had no issues in theirs going through.  Today (5 hours of support later) I was told you can't send the same employee a 1099 from a different business.  That makes no sense.  Please help!  Thanks!

      I'm here to provide additional information about this, Charm. 

       

      The possible cause is you might have tried filing Form 1099 from your other business from your QuickBooks Online (QBO). Please note we only allow one business per QBO subscription. 

       

      On the other hand, yes, we can send another 1099 in QBO. However, if you want to file a 1099 for a separate business, we have to log in to that company and follow the same steps. 

       

      I'll add this guide for more info: Create and file 1099s using QuickBooks Online. 

       

      In addition, you can browse this article to learn how to make corrections to 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC forms after you e-filed them: Correct or change 1099s in QuickBooks. 

       

      I'm still all ears for any 1099-related questions. Take care!
