2022 1099-NEC date error

The 2022 1099-NEC standard form has changed the date format.  The blank form has the first 2 digits of the year pre-printed:  20__.    Quickbooks should now only print out the last two digits of the year: or "22".  Unfortunately, Quickbooks is printing "2022" instead of "22".  It is overwriting the preprinted date on the 1099-NEC.  Any idea when this will be corrected?

    Thanks for the response.  My Quickbooks version is up-to-date and the tax tables are the latest version.  The date issue is a programming error in Quickbooks that needs to be fixed ASAP.  Please contact the programming team.  Thank you!

      This same issue is happening to me. I completed all of the steps, but it is still printing the full year 2022 instead of just 22

          Hi, Andrew. I can see the frustration being caused by the 1099-NEC that prints the full year on your pre-printed forms instead of the last two digits. Let me share additional information about this issue.

           

          I want you to know that there's an open investigation related to this error. Rest assured our engineers are now working together for an immediate resolution. While waiting for a fix, I recommend reaching out to our Payroll Support Team. This way, a live representative can add your name to the list of affected users in this investigation INV-81469. After that, you'll automatically receive email notification of the latest updates.

           

          Once resolved, you're now ready to file your 1099s in the correct format. Learn more about the process from these links:

           

           

          If you have follow-up questions about your forms, let me know by adding a comment below. I'm always here to help. Keep safe!

          This is not a dating issue, it's a formatting issue. As the original post states, the IRS form for 1099-NEC is not date specific. In the date box is "20__", which means that the required input is a 2-digit date of "22." QuickBooks is printing a 4-digit date of "2022" in this box. At best, QuickBooks could have me report payments I've made 20 thousand years in the future year of 202022. Again, the issue is not something like a wrong year (21 instead of 22), it's the number of digits being printed in that box.

           

          Again, everything is up-to-date on my version of QuickBooks (payroll and desktop). Both we're updated this morning right before I made my first post.

              Never. They want us peons that still use desktop to have to buy their overpriced tax forms and deal with hours of frustration with their technical support that gets us no where..  They are hoping that we'll all get annoyed enough to switch to online.  I'll retire before I use online.  Worst software ever made.

                So to be clear. They DO NOT plan on correcting the issue with printing the year as 4 digits instead of 2 digits and expect us to purchase their forms.

                  I received this email from Intuit today:

                   

                  Dear Employer,
                  QuickBooks Desktop customers using third party forms when printing 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC Forms from QuickBooks may notice an issue with the "For calendar year" box. The box shows 202022 because 20__ is pre-printed on the form.
                  What do I need to know?
                  Our products are designed to print on Intuit forms (they are guaranteed to be QuickBooks compatible). Forms from third parties may or may not be compatible.
                  If your 1099 form stock shows 20__ in the "For calendar year" box, you aren't using QuickBooks-compatible forms. While you don't have to use QuickBooks forms, the year box may print as 202022.
                  Will my 1099 forms still be processed accurately by the IRS? 
                  The printed text is in black ink on the red form stock. The 1099 processing systems don't read the red text. The IRS confirmed that forms with the following date formats will still be accepted: 22, 2022, or 202022. You can print your 1099s on Intuit stock or from a third party. 
                  This email is to inform you that although the 202022 on the 1099's may be alarming, the IRS will still process the forms accurately. For more information on 1099 forms, please visit our Print 1099 and 1096 forms article.
                  We hope this email clears up any confusion surrounding the "For Calendar Year" displayed on third party forms.
                  Sincerely,

                  The QuickBooks Team

                      This is absolutely unacceptable and the responses from Intuit are condescending and completely useless.

                       

                      Is this intentional on their part to force us to buy their forms?  I'm beyond angry right now.  I have to send hundreds of 1099's out to subcontractors and the Calendar Year will be INCORRECT because of the incompetence and greediness of Intuit.  

                       

                      STOP BEING JERKS INTUIT.  FIX THIS ISSUE FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS NOW!!!!!
