I see conflicting information within Turbo Tax regarding the electronic filing of the 1096 form. How do I CONFIRM my 1096 form has been sent to the IRS? I've seen a mention of "Quick Employer Forms" e-filing to the IRS and that we don't need to file the 1096 by mail because it would be duplicative. However, in other Q&A it refers to mailing the form to the IRS. Furthermore, when I am logged into Turbo Tax/Quick Employer Forms, it shows that I've e-filed my 1099s to the IRS, but it refers to the 1096 form as a "State" form and doesn't indicate that it's been e-filed. My understanding is that the 1096 is a Federal IRS form and my state doesn't need to receive it. Is there a way within Turbo Tax to confirm that the 1099 and 1096 forms were sent to the IRS electronically and if the IRS received them? If not, there should be.
