You can do them 2 different ways from the Windows Desktop Home & Business program. Either Online using Quick Employer Forms (QEF) -or- directly on your computer using Create forms on Desktop. If you use Create Forms on your Desktop you have to mail them to the IRS and not efile.


In the Window's Home & Business Desktop program to Prepare W2s or 1099s, there are 2 ways to start.

1. Go up to File - Create 1099/W-2

2. On the beginning screen that has the Continue box and Start a New Return blue button, below is the Create 1099/W-2 button.


Then you will get a box to Create employer forms using Quick Employer Forms OR you can pick Create forms on Desktop at the bottom. If you use Create Forms on your Desktop you have to mail them to the IRS and not efile.

Made another screen shot.  If you go up to FILE there is a new line to Create W2/1099
