Question

I filed 1099s & had them sent electronically. Quickbooks is asking vendors to sign into their intuit account to view 1099, but they don't have an account. Now what?

Their account to set up is free, they use the same email address you use to contact them. The instructions to them should be in the email they get. If it is not then QB needs to know that this lack of info is a problem. From 1099 efile instructions>

All contractors with email addresses will receive an invite to access their 1099 forms online. See this section of Invite a contractor to add their own 1099 tax infofor more details.

You should not have to invite them yourself to access their online 1099 but the email they got should be pretty clear about them having to set up a free account if they do not yet have one.

Can you get a copy of one of their emails and post just the basic text without any personal details to see what they are seeing?

Thank you for posting here in the Community, @irivera.

You can resend the invite to your contractor to view their 1099. Let me show you how to do this.

On the left panel, hover your mouse on Workers and click on Contractors.
Select the contractor's name
Select Edit.
Remove Business ID No.(this can be either SSN or FEIN), and select Save. This way, the system will be triggered to provide a new invite option.
Hover your mouse on Workers, click on Contractors.
Select the contractor's name
Select Send email.

Your contractor will then receive an email to complete his/her information, specifically the one you've deleted. Once completed, he/she will then receive another login email. Then, he/she will be able to his/her From 1099.

Feel free to read this article for more information: Invite a Contractor to Add Their Own 1099 Tax Info.

Please leave a comment below if you have other concerns. I'll be happy to help you.

It's a year later and Intuit still hasn't fixed this or made it easier to re-send 1099 links to contractors.

I have an Intuit Account that is in my name and a business name. A vendor has sent me my 1099 through QBO and when I try to sign into my Intuit account using my email address (which is in my Business Name and my personal name, it doesn't recognize my sign in (probably because the 1099 is issued to my personal name (which is what I want) how can I access this 1099? or do I need to wait for the paper copy?

Hello there, @Caroljallencpa.

There isn't a need to wait for the paper copy to view your 1099 with QuickBooks. Let me provide further details about this.

Your vendor has the option to invite you to complete your W-9 information and use our 1099 e-file service through QuickBooks Online (QBO) in filing your form. With this feature, you're able to view and get your copy online using a free QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) account.

Based on your description of the issue above, it seems that you already have the free QBSE account to view your 1099 copy online. You can select the link in the email you've received to sign in to QBSE. From there, input the appropriate user ID and password (the same one you used to fill out your W-9) and view or print your 1099. Here's how:

Sign in to QuickBooks Self-Employed.
Go to the Clients menu.
Select the Forms tab.

In case the system still doesn't recognize your sign in details, you can utilize the Forgot your user ID or password option. This way, you're able to verify your account and let the system recognized your information. Please see the screenshot below for your reference.

In the meantime, I'm adding this article to learn more about 1099s: Common questions about 1099s. It answers the most frequently asked questions regarding the form and provides all the necessary related links.

Let me know how it goes in the comments below. If you have other 1099 concerns, I'm just around to help. Take care always.

Additional information. I do have QBSE and QBO and Mint. I am a QB Pro. I can sign in to all my accounts using my email address on file and my current password. I don't really want to change my PW, but I do believe I tried that last year and it still didn't work to access the 1099. In fact when the vendor sent me the link to enter my self employment information, I was not able to do that using my current accounts. I think it's because my accounts are associated with a business name and the 1099 is issued in my personal name.

Adding to the chorus -- sad to see others experiencing the same issue since 2019...

I used QB Online to prepare 1099s. It took me the the 1099 E-file service, where I was ensured contractors would receive their copy electronically and by mail. My contractors' experience with electronic copy retrieval has been what others have described (broken links, trying to re-trigger invitations, etc.). No contractor to date seems to have succeeded.

More concerning is that it is now Mar 15, more than six weeks after e-filing, and I'm hearing that folks have not received hard copies via USPS either. Getting routed through customer service to discuss this was infernal. The 4th representative could finally advise on the E-file product but she could not tell me if or when 1099s were mailed. Told me to "just wait, things are backlogged". Literally the equivalent of the proverbial "it's in the mail". Previous representatives suggested I print and mail the forms myself, after having paid for that exact service.

I may end up having to distribute the forms myself...
