Include Form 1096 with the forms you mail to the IRS. Quick Employer Forms will handle the 1096 for the e-filed forms.</SPAN></P> Tue, 20 Jan 2026 18:16:40 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-contractors-refusing-to-provide-w9/01/3729249#M1382409 PatriciaV 2026-01-20T18:16:40Z
