How to download a 1099. I can’t locate it in my account.

Hi there, nwallrich-wallri.

Thank you for visiting the QuickBooks Community. I'll ensure you can download 1099s in QuickBooks Self-Employed by following the steps below.

Your employer or client can use their QuickBooks Online account to send you an invite to fill out your Form W-9. With this, the mentioned person needs to invite you to fill out your W-9 and they'll need to invite you to the email address you use to sign in to your QBSE.

Once done, you'll have to fill out and update your W-9 from QuickBooks your Self-Employed to complete the form and send it back directly to your employer. After your employer or client submits your 1099-MISC to the IRS, you'll get an email when it's ready for download. Then, here's how to locate and download 1099:

1. Go to the Clients menu from QuickBooks Self-Employed.
2. Select the Forms tab.
3. Download and print your 1099.

However, if you're still unable to locate the said form, I recommend opening your QBO account in a private browser. This is done to rule out the possibility of a website problem resulting in a missing 1099.

Use these keyboard shortcuts based on the browser you're using:

• For Firefox or Microsoft Edge, press Ctrl + Shift + P.
• For Chrome, press Ctrl + Shift + N.
• For Safari, hold down Command + Shift + N.

If it works in incognito, you'll have to clear the cache of your regular browser. This removes the history or log of sites so you can start with a clean slate. If the steps above don't work, use another supported browser as an alternative.

Lastly, you may refer to this article to see details on how QBSE is designed to help you record your self-employed income and expenses, track mileage, and prepare your Schedule C: QuickBooks Self-Employed Overview.
