I have an older desktop version [2018] and despite updating I still can't print 3 on each page [still wants to print just 2]. Also, noticed that when I select range, it say January 1, 2020. Is there a fix???

Thanks!

Thanks for notifying us of your concern, @AnneM4. Let me share information about printing 3-on-a-page 1099-NEC forms in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

Currently, preprinted copies or three up 1099-NEC forms are only compatible with QBDT 2020 and later versions, including Mac. That said, I'd recommend upgrading your QBDT to these versions so you can print three-part forms on each page.

 

Once done, here's how to print your 1099-NEC:

 

  1. Update your QBDT file to the latest release. Ensure to select the Reset Update checkbox.
  2. Go to Vendors, click 1099 Forms, and select Print/E-file 1099 Forms. Create your 1099s.
  3. Select Print 1099-NEC in the Choose a filing method window.
  4. Specify the date range for the forms, then select OK.
  5. Select all vendors you wish to print 1099s for.
  6. Select Print 1099.
  7. Double-check your printer settings, and click Print.

 

Moreover, feel free to refer to this article if you're unable to print, email, or save as a PDF from QBDT: Troubleshoot PDF and Print problems with QuickBooks Desktop. It contains multiple suggested steps on how to resolve printing issues.

Thanks for the immediate response, @AnneM4.

 

Yes, there's a cost to upgrade to QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) 2020. Let me share further details about this below.

 

The cost to upgrade to a newer version of QBDT (2020) will depend on whether you need one with or without a subscription. 

 

If you want a subscription, please see this page for the price (per year) and help you select the QBDT version that's best for you: Choose QuickBooks Desktop. If you opt to upgrade without a subscription, you'll get a one-time charge for the cost of the program.

 

Whenever you're ready to upgrade to a newer version of QBDT (2020), please see this article for the step-by-step guide: Upgrade QuickBooks Desktop Pro, Premier, or Enterprise. 

 

Once you're done, go ahead and print your 1099-NEC in QBDT.

 

Also, you may want to check out this article as your reference to guide you on what you need to do to close out the previous year and prepare for the new one using QBDT: Year-end guide for QuickBooks Desktop.

 

If you have other concerns about upgrading your QBDT program, I'm always ready to help. Take care, and I wish you continued success, @AnneM4.
