In Agency is listed under status of forms I have filed.

Welcome to the Community, slnenni. I'll ensure to address your question about the status of your 1099 submission in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

The "In agency" status indicates that the IRS has received your submission but hasn't processed or confirmed its acceptance. When the forms are marked as received, your e-file status will be changed to "Agency accepted."

 

To see an overview of other e-filing statuses and their meanings, please review them below:

 

  • Received: Intuit received the submission but hasn't been submitted to the agency.
  • Prepared: Intuit converted the submission into the agency-specific format, but it hasn't been submitted to the agency.
  • Succeeded_Agency: The agency has received the payment or filing.
  • Failed_Preparation: Intuit couldn't convert the submission into an agency-specific format. This usually means that there was a problem with the submitted information.
  • Rejected_Agency: The agency rejected the submission. Review the Details button for more information.

 

Additionally, I'm including this article to help answer the most commonly asked questions about 1099s in QuickBooks: 1099 concerns.

    I have the same message "InAgency" with an e-file date of 1/25/24 for one of my companies.  A second company I e-filed 1099s on 1/26/24 and they were accepted within the hour of filing.  What is causing the delay with the first company that I filed for?


    Thank you,

    Sandy

      I understand how important to have clarity about the delay in acceptance of your 1099, sandy. 

       

      One possible reason for the delay in acceptance of your 1099 forms by the IRS is due to high volume of submissions during peak tax season. 

       

      I recommend reaching out to the IRS for further details on the delay in the acceptance of your 1099 filings. They can provide the necessary information and support to assist you through this process.

      Thanks for joining this thread, @cgreene.

       

      Let me answer your question about the filing status of your 1096 form.

       

      When you e-file 1099s the 1096 form will automatically be included on the filing status through QuickBooks Online Payroll (QBOP)'s 1099 E-File Service. This complies with the IRS e-filing policy. 

       

      Concerning the time you sent the 1099s. We can only check the Date when you e-file it and can View the summary in the Taxes tab. To view the time, you can check the confirmation e-mail of your e-filed 1099s.

      Thank you for confirming about the report 1096.

      I did receive an email of the charge for filing with Quickbooks. Is that confirmation that it has started the process

      But I can still not locate in Taxes tab for the date of filing other then the status is showing InAgency.

      Can you please give me instructions to locate the date. I am using quickbooks online

      thank you
