Question

1099 NEC will not align for printing

I am unable to align the 1099-NEC form on QB desktop 2022.   The alignment tab does not align the information to the form.  QB 2021 works fine, but not 2022.  I suspect there is a software issue, but it needs to be updated and corrected ASAP.

Thanks for reaching out to us, GJ615.

 

Let me help you keep the process of aligning your 1099-NEC easy.

 

Before that, make sure that your QuickBooks is up-to-date to keep your software always have the latest features and fixes. Also, check the System requirements for QuickBooks Desktop 2022 to check if you've met your computer needs for the best experience in QuickBooks Desktop 2022. 

 

Once done, print the 1099 forms again. For the detailed steps, here's how to align forms in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

If you're still unable to align the forms, you can run the QuickBooks Tool Hub to fix issues in printing forms.

 

Keep me updated on how it works so I can provide some more troubleshooting when you need it. I'll be right here anytime.

This is an issue with 2024 as well. Using 3 to a page standard forms. The bottom form is aligned and the upper two forms need to go up. If I adjust the alignment up, the bottom form is no longer aligned and the middle one is. This is a software issue where QB Desktop has not been properly programmed for standard forms. Otherwise the alignments would be off throughout the sheet (all 3 forms).

The challenges you're facing could stem from several factors, and we'll tackle each one together. Let's break them down step-by-step to identify the best possible solutions.

 

First, update QuickBooks to the latest release to ensure you have the newest features and product improvements. While you do that, please verify that your forms are QuickBoos-compatible. Click here to check out QuickBooks Pre-Printed 1099 Kits in the Intuit Market.

 

After you've ensured that QuickBooks is up-to-date and the forms you are using are verified compatible, proceed with these steps to generate and print 1099s:

  2. Click Print/E-file 1099 Forms.
  3. Select Yes.
  4. Press Get started on the 1099-NEC form.
  5. Pick the vendors and then Continue.

  7. Map the payment accounts and then click Continue when complete. 
  8. Please review your payment information and then click Continue. Then, please review the vendors and amounts and click Continue once again.
  9. Select Print Form 1099-NEC.

 

Set the period for your forms and then click OK. You'll then see the option to Print 1099. See the screenshot below for reference.
