Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thanks for the info about Quick Employer Forms being the only option for eFiling of 1099-NEC, and that it is available ONLINE ONLY.  Aarrgh.  It would have been very helpful if instructions within TTax Home & Business 2020 (desktop computer, Windows 10) had said something about this before I wasted too much time entering data for 25 people that, apparently, cannot be eFiled. 

I saved my (now useless) work and and started another "New Return" -- This time the critical options to choose "Online" or "Desktop" preparation of forms appeared (see Image #1).

• TTax PROBLEM: On my first attempt (taken immediately after installing TTax from CD, updating & entering my license code), these important options did NOT appear.
• Instead, TTax took me directly to the instructions for importing last year's tax file and (finding none for 1099-MISC or -NEC) prompted me to begin entering my 2020 data. 

SUGGESTION to TTAX:  Provide instructions in TTax Home & Business 2020-2021-2022-etc. (desktop computers, Windows OS) that make it very clear (before, while and after a user enters data) that eFile is NOT available for 1099-NEC, -MISC, etc. except via Quick Employer Forms which is ONLINE ONLY, and can only be accessed via "Start a New Return."
