When desktop QuickBooks will update printable 2021 NEC forms from 2-part to 3-part?

I have 2021 QB Pro.

    Kayte, I personally think those that can now print 3-up 1099NEC's are using the QBO version. QBDT-of any year/version- is still not patched/updated. ANYONE correct me if I am wrong. If you have been able to get QBDT PRO 2020 to print 1099NEC 3-up, let us know what you did to progress. Of course, once I get the dang update, I will be off the grid and getting my1099NEC's started and finished hopefully, but by that time we all will have the patch/update.


    Hello there everyone! 

     

    I understand you need to be able to print the 1099-NEC forms since it’s time for tax filing. And with that, I have good news to share with all of you. You should now be able to print 3 to a page for 1099-NEC. All you need to do is make sure you are on the latest releases with the appropriate critical fixes. 

     

    Here’s how:


    1.   Go to the Help menu.
    2.   Click Update QuickBooks Desktop.
    3.   Go to the Options tab and click Mark All, then Save.
    4.   Tap the Update Now tab.
    5.   Make sure Critical Fixes is checked.
    6.   Then click Get Updates.

     

     

    When the update is finished, close and reopen QuickBooks Desktop. Click Yes to install the updates, then restart your computer.

     

    Please feel more than welcome to send a reply if there are any additional questions about printing the 1099-NEC 3 per page. I'll be right here to help you.

    This DID NOT ANSWER MY QUESTION. I don't know why you put "solved" next to my post with this reference. 

     

    My questions was: How can I print 2 per page from my Quickbooks 2020 Professional Desktop software? 

     

    Now it is printing 3 per page. You SHOULD HAVE put an option to print 2 or 3 per page. I went out & purchased 1099 forms that are 2 per page. Now my money is wasted. This seems like an attempt to make me purchase more from Intuit. Either efile, which comes with a hefty fee, or more forms, this time from you??

    Hi @James Powers 

    I understand your frustration with Intuit and the "answers" posted on these forums. 

    Let me try to help. The IRS changed the format for 1099-NEC forms this year to 3 per page, from last year's that were 2 per page. They WILL NOT accept the 2 per page format, therefore there is no option to print them that way. The 1099-MISC (for reporting Rents and Royalties, etc) on the other hand is still in 2 per page format. If you look closely at the 2 per page 1099-NEC forms you purchased, they are most likely for 2020 or are 1099-MISC forms, and not NEC. If they are indeed 2 part 1099-NEC for 2021, I would request a refund from the vendor you purchased from...

    Your only recourse at this point is at you mentioned. Purchase more forms, or efile. 

    This has been a really frustrating situations for many of us this year as the change in format was not publized well by the IRS, Intuit, or form vendors. Caught me by surprise too! 

    (I am not a moderator, just another Community member trying to help...)

    Good Luck!

    Okay I see now. I appreciate you replying with the information I needed. You are right, we purchased miscellaneous forms by mistake, and had to repurchase the correct ones. 

     

    Thanks for answering my request.

      I have mac 2019 desktop version. I am trying to print 1099 forms which I bought from office depot. The purchased forms are two per page and my QuickBooks is trying to print 3 per page. Is there a way I can print 2 per page or do I need to buy new forms?

      Thank you for joining the thread, Jeff.

       

      What we have now is the 3-forms per page format, and we're unable to change it. You can buy new forms from the retail stores or through QuickBooks Checks & Supplies: https://intuitmarket.intuit.com/tax-forms/1099-forms.

       

      If you have other questions about printing 1099-NEC, feel free to go back to this thread. Take care!
