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 with the built in W2/1099 Reporter.
If you pick the choice to prepare them on your computer instead of Online you will have to print and mail them to the IRS (which the IRS doesn't want you to do). You can only efile using the QEF Quick Employer Forms. So you would have to start all over and choose the other method and re enter them into the Online QEF.
In the Window's Home & Business Desktop program to Prepare W2s or 1099s, click the big blue button to Start a New Return or go up to File-New Tax Return.
Then on the next screen it asks What would you like to do?
If you get a screen with 2 choices, Check the second circle that says Prepare W-2s and 1099s for my employees or contractors. Then that will expand and give you a choice to prepare them online or on your computer.
If you get a screen that says Continue your Tax Return and a box listing your returns then go up to FILE - New Tax Return again and you should get a box to pick the type of return you need to prepare. Pick US Forms W-2/1099 Reporter
Or if you are in your return, you can go to Business Expenses and click on Contract Labor. It will have a link to go directly to the Online Quick Employer Forms.
