1099 E-FILE

A simple way to file 1099s online

Q: Do I need to file a 1099 with the IRS?

Yes. If you paid a nonemployee $600 or more in the past calendar year, you likely need to file a Form 1099. For more information, check out IRS guidelines.

Q: Can I file 1099 electronically?

Yes. QuickBooks provides a variety of e-filing options for subscribers. You may also file directly with the IRS. The deadline for e-filing without a penalty is the last day in January of each calendar year. If that day falls on a weekend, the deadline is the following business day.

Q: How do I file a 1099 online?

QuickBooks subscribers can e-file 1099s by selecting the Contractor tab in QuickBooks and selecting Prepare 1099s. E-filing is included with QuickBooks Contractor Payments and QuickBooks Online Payroll Core, Premium, and Elite (additional fee). This service will e-file your 1099 forms directly with the IRS, and will also send copies to contractors.

Q: Who gets a Form 1099-NEC?

Any nonemployee paid $600 or more in the prior calendar year needs a 1099-NEC, which stands for nonemployee compensation and covers most independent contractors. 1099-MISC is used to cover payments made to others in the course of a trade or business, not including those made to employees or for non-employee compensation.

Q: Do I need QuickBooks Contractor Payments to e-file 1099s?

No. You can file directly with the IRS or with a variety of other private e-filing services.
