Question

I am trying to work on filing 1099's. I only have 2 1099-NEC and 1 1099-MISC. QBO keeps saying there is a problem and come back later. Is this a QBO issue right now?

Hi there, @gawaccounting.

 

Allow me to shed some light on why you're unable to e-file your 1099s with QuickBooks Online.

 

Starting from 2023, the IRS has mandated that if you need to file more than 10 combined federal forms such as 1099s, W-2s, or other federal forms, you are required to file them electronically. This change is aimed at making the filing process more convenient and accurate for the filers. However, it is important to note that if you need to file less than 10 forms, you'll need to manually file them to the IRS.
 

You can find detailed instructions on how to file your 1099s to the IRS in this article: Instructions for Forms 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC.

 

If you need to print your 1099s for your contractors or personal records, you can find a detailed guide on how to print them here: Print your 1099 and 1096 forms.

 

Please remember that the Community is always available to help you out with any additional questions regarding filing your 1099s or any other concerns. Take care!

Ok, so if I am unable to do my own filing of the 3 1099's, how do I get QBO to do it for me?  I am willing to pay.

I'll elaborate on some details and help you file multiple 1099s, Gawa.

 

I've read your initial post and you mentioned an error message. Can you tell me more about it or what is the complete prompt? This is to determine and double-check if other users are also experiencing the same error.

 

In the meantime, we can perform some troubleshooting steps to help fix the issue.

 

Sometimes, this happens due to browser-related issues. We can perform some troubleshooting steps to fix the problem. Use the shortcut keys below to access a private window (incognito):

 

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Safari: Command + Shift + N
  • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + P

 

When using incognito mode, this deletes cookies and browser history leaving your browser clean and easy to access any websites and error-free.

 

Once done, check if you can file multiple 1099s without getting the error. If it works, go back to the main browser to clear its cache and delete some outdated files that might be the cause of the error. Otherwise, use a supported, up-to-date browser.
