Greetings, @arkvalleyinfo!

 

You can print your Form 1096 after going through the manual process of printing and filing of 1099. Let me show you how to prepare and print it.

  1. Go to Expenses, then Vendors.
  2. Click Prepare 1099s.
  3. Enter all information correctly for the tax year
  4. Select Print and mail.
  5. Choose the 1096 Form. If everything looks good, select Yes, looks good!
  6. Click Print on a 1096 Form.

Please know that if the form needs to be aligned, select No, it doesn't line up and then select Next. Then re-select the 1096 Form, and select Print on a 1096 Form.

 

When you electronically file your 1099 forms, you'll receive the link to download a copy of the employer 1099. Or go to the IRS website and download the form.

 

You can always get back to us here in the Community if you have any other questions.

Hey, @cschmid

 

Thanks for following up on this thread. If you're having trouble printing a copy of a 1096, then I recommend clearing your browsing data. Removing this data will help resolve any errors or glitches that may be standing in your way. Here's how: 

 

Note: Below is instructions on how to clear browsing data within Chrome. If you're using a different browser, then use the link provided above for additional steps. 

  1. Go to the Three Vertical Dots (Menu) in the top right-hand corner. 
  2. Pick History and then History again. 
  3. Click Clear Browsing Data on the left-hand side of the screen. 
  4. In the "Time Range" section, choose All Time
  5. Select Clear Data

Afterward, try the same steps my colleague gave you above. If the printing issue is persisting, then I suggest contacting our Customer Support Team. They can look further into your account by using different tools and a screen share. 

 

Here's an extra link that can help you out with PDF printing issues

 

Let me know if this helps. I want to make sure that you're able to get back to running your business. I'll be waiting for your response.

Let's check why you're unable to see Expenses on your QuickBooks Online account, michwhit15.

 

Access permission is one of the reasons why this function went missing on the file. Make sure to log into QuickBooks as the master admin so you can print your 1099.

 

Each user you add to QuickBooks has a certain permission level. It determines what they can or can't do. Learn more about user types and managing their permissions.

 

If you're a contractor and was invited by an employer to view 1099, you can sign in to the limited QuickBooks Self-Employed to view or print your 1099-MISC. Then, click the Clients menu and select the Forms tab. From there, you'll be able to print a copy of your returns.

 

Check out this link to learn more about this: Fill out a W-9 and view your 1099-MISC in QuickBooks Self-Employed.

 

If you're the employer of the QuickBooks Online account, you can use other supported browsers. Then, create and file 1099s from there. 

 

When that works, clear cache and cookies on your regular browser. If not, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Online Team. They can create a case to isolate the missing Expenses menu.

 

Here's how to get in touch with them:

  1. Select Help (?) at the top right.
  2. Enter your concern, then select Let's talk.
  3. Select Contact Us to connect with a live support agent.
  4. Choose a way to connect with us:
    • Start a chat with a support expert.
    • Get a callback from the next available expert.

Keep me posted if you have follow-up questions by commenting below. I'll be around until you're able to find the Expenses menu on your QuickBooks account.
