How do I file 1096? Also, where is my 1099 file? Where can I find the Turbo Tax File with my 1099 information?

I just efiled the my 1099 Misc. But I did not see any follow up to file the 1096.  I also cannot find record of my 1099 filing.

Are you using the link within Home&Business to prepare online or on your computer?

Your solution worked.  Scurffy_Curmudgeon.  Thanks.  Looks like the 1096 is not e-filed.  Have to print and send.

There are two different approaches to producing Form 1099-MISC and accompaning Form 1096 Transmittal using TurboTax.

The simplest is to use the online service that is available called Quick Employer Forms which not only produces Form 1099-MISC but also W-2, 1099-INT and 1099-DIV.

The link to get you started is here, but realize that all your employee data for your 1099-MISC recipients will be stored online only.

As a purchaser of either TurboTax Business or Home&Business, you can use this link and sign in with the log-in used to either purchase the product or to register, or to access support.

Alternatively, you can do all Form 1099-MISC/1096 work, except printing, on your computer and then go online to QEF to electronically transmit the 1099-MISC Copy A& 1096 [note these forms require printing on red-inked forms which is why it makes sense to do  online submittal]

I thought that the form 1096 was created but Not transmitted during the efiling of 1099s.  1096 is created for the payer to have a record.  If all 1099s are efiled then the 1096 is not tranmitted. 

Isn't that correct?
