Thanks for becoming part of the Community and getting involved with this thread, rachela1. I'd be more than happy to guide you through the process of printing 1099s.

To make sure 1099s print correctly, be sure to initially update your books to our latest release. You'll also want to make sure you're using our 1099 kit.

After confirming your books are up-to-date, you can begin printing the forms.

Here's how:
 

1. In your top menu bar, go to Vendors, 1099 Forms, then Print/E-file 1099 Forms.
2. Create the 1099s.
3. From your Choose a filing method window, click Print 1099-NEC.
4. Specify a date range for the forms, then hit OK.
5. Pick all vendors you want to print 1099s for.
6. Press Print 1099.
7. Double-check your printer settings for accuracy, then select Print.
