Hello,

I want to print and mail 1099's manually. I have the forms with me. I see the option "Print and mail manually" Do I have to pay the $58 just to print the 1099s?????

Hi, @Evan03.

I'll share with you some learning about 1099 forms in QuickBooks Online.

Yes, you'll need to pay $58 to print and mail the 1099 form. The reason why you'll need to pay because the form is already pre-printed. Also, the form size is 8 1/2" x 11" that includes compatible double-window envelopes with size 5 5/8'' x 8 3/4". For more information, check out this article: Create and file 1099s using QuickBooks Online. Directly go to number 7 in Step 3.

But if you don't want to cost anything, I'd suggest printing the plain 1099 form on the IRS website. Please click these links below to print the form and complete instructions.

After that, run a vendor reports, so you have a reference in mapping the accounts. For more details, check out this article: Create a 1099 report for vendors and vendor payments.

Once everything is good, you can now mail the form to IRS. Please note that the filing due date for 1099-NEC is February 1, 2021.

I've also added articles on how to troubleshoot printing issues in pre-printed forms: How do I print my 1099 forms?. Please proceed to Step 2.

Please let me know in the comment section if you have other concerns. I’m just a post away. Take care!

Hi Michelle,

Thanks for your response however, I bought the 1099 and 1096 forms and envelopes already (through amazon). I did not order the forms through Quickbooks. All I need is to print the 1099 info from quickbooks. I don't need the forms as I have them already. Why do I have to pay $58 when all I need is to print?

I've got your back, Evan03.

The $58.99 is for the 1099 kits starting at 10 forms and their made-to-fit envelopes. Since you already ordered a form from Amazon, let's make sure to set up the alignment when printing 1099s.

Here are the steps:

From QuickBooks Online, navigate to the Expenses tab and the Vendors section.
Click Prepare 1099's and select Let’s get started to prepare your 1099 forms in QuickBooks. Then, walk through the module until you're on Step 5 - File.
Select the Print and mail button.
Choose 1099-MISC from the form type section and press the Print sample on blank paper. If it's not aligned on your form, click the No, it doesn't line up button.
Adjust the alignment and hit Next.
In the Final forms page, click on the Print on 1099 forms button.
Review the form and select Print.
