How did you prepare the 1099NEC? If you used the Quick Employer Forms it is efiled to the IRS. But you have to print it out to give to the contractor.
The Quick Employer Forms only supports e-filing of the forms with the IRS and Social Security Administration. Copy A of the Form 1099 and W-2 are only used for e-filing and are not provided for printing.
