I don't understand the conversation about the 1099 being in the payroll module at all.  

In desktop, it has never been in payroll.  It has always been in the vendor drop down list. 

My 2020 Quickbooks Premier just updated on Friday and now the 1099 NEC is working.  

It is in the same place as always.  Drop down vendor list to print/efile 1099's and use the wizard. 

What I saw on Friday was when I went to this location, it said (update Quickbooks). After I did and rebooted the computer, now the 1099 wizard opens up to handle both NEC and Misc 1099 forms. 

You have to set each one up separately.  

Hope this helps.
