Help has arrived, islandlife727. I’m here to help print your forms so you can file them yourself.


In QuickBooks Online, you can print 1099-NEC for your contact labor and W-2 for your employee by following these steps:


Printing 1099-NEC:

 

  1. Go to your Payroll menu and select Contractors.
  2. Select Prepare 1099s.
  3. Make sure your company name, email, address, and tax ID are correct. You can select the Pencil icon to make any changes if necessary.
  4. Click Confirm info and get started or Confirm info and start filing.
  5. Select the accounts you used to pay for contact labor, then hit Next.
  6. Review the recipient and payment totals, and then press Next.
  7. Preview the form and click Next when done.
  8. Select I’ll print and mail to print and mail the form yourself.


Printing W-2 for employees:

 

  1. Click the Taxes menu, then Payroll tax.
  2. Choose Filings.
  3. Select the All filings resources link at the bottom of the page, then choose W-2.
  4. In the W-2, Copies B, C & 2 (employee) section, click Manage W-2s.
  5. Hit View and print.
  6. Select the Print icon on the Adobe Reader toolbar, then click Print.


If you hand them their official copies, we recommend ordering W-2 kits (W-2s and envelopes) through us to ensure the form prints correctly. Just visit QuickBooks Checks & Supplies, then go to Tax Products. From there, choose Blank W-2 kits, then follow the on-screen steps to complete your order.

 

I'm also adding these resources that offer tips and facts about managing Form 1099: Get answers to your 1099 questions.


I’ll always be here if you need more help managing your tax forms in QuickBooks. Just let me know by adding comments below. I’ll get back to you as soon as I can, islandlife727.

Thank you for your time and response Madelyn.  I've already done all of this and when I go to print, even printing and adding a blank 1099-NEC from .gov, the print is "so large" it doesn't fit into the blanks.  Not even close.  No matter how small I attempt to make the print, it doesn't work.  I'm so beyond frustrated with QB in so many respects.  My auto file tab is ON and it won't even let me turn that off which would totally solve the problem.  Said to try to turn off, I have to wait until Feb. 1 since we're in the middle of it all.  NOT helpful. Can't change your mind or change something I didn't even know was on!!!!  Not even sure if the system has sent the 1099-NEC to the subcontractor or not. UGH.  Beyond frustrated.  I have one employee (want to print 1 W-2) and one subcontractor (want to print 1 1099-NEC) but no.  It should not be this difficult or "embedded" into so many screens. Should be a button on the Dashboard during tax time, to click and print.  HATE QB. And no one - I truly mean no one who responds to "chat", has been trained.  Just hired and thrown in the fire.  No one assists properly and hours of time gets so wasted.  Ugh again.  And no chance of speaking/chatting with a supervisor.  I'm starting to think there isn't any there.

Hello, Islandlife.

 

I understand the importance of printing 1099 in QuickBooks Online. Please know that this is not the service we want you to experience.

 

Regarding your concern, QuickBooks sent the 1099-NEC to the subcontractor or not. To determine if QuickBooks has sent the 1099-NEC to a subcontractor, you can follow these steps:

 

  1. Log in to your QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Navigate to the Taxes section.
  3. Select Prepare 1099s to review the status of the 1099 forms that have been sent.
  4. Check the individual subcontractor records to confirm if the 1099-NEC forms have been filed for them.

 

If you are unable to locate this information or need further assistance, contacting QuickBooks Online support directly would be beneficial. They can provide specific guidance based on your account and offer assistance in verifying whether the 1099-NEC forms have been sent to your subcontractors.

 

Furthermore, QuickBooks offers different reports that cater to your business needs. To learn more, I've got this article for more information: Run Payroll Reports.

 

Fill me in if you have any questions about filing payroll forms. I'll always be right here to help.
