1096 Quick Employer forms

[TaxShy]

One business

Two 1099s for different vendors.

When printed for my records there are two different 1096s, each has   1  in box three, instead of one 1096 with a  2 in box three.

How do I correct this to show a 2 in box three with only one 1096 for the business?

Are the two Forms 1096 for the same type of 1099? They can be 1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, 1099-INT or 1099-DIV. It's possible you have one 1099-MISC and the other is a 1099-NEC. The version of the form depends on the type of income you reported.

If you have not yet e-filed the Forms 1099, you can edit the forms in Quick Employer Forms (QEF) to correct the entries.

However, if the 1099's have been accepted by the IRS, you will need to use the IRS website forms and instructions for corrections. QEF does not support corrected forms at this time.

Here is the Quick Employer Forms FAQ page if you need further information.

I am having the same issue.  We have 14 MISC forms and 8 NEC forms.  When I preview the documents for printing, there is a 1096 to accompany each form.  There should be only two 1096 forms (one for the MISC forms and one for the NEC forms).

If the forms were accepted electronically, you can create one 1096 for each type of 1099 filed with the IRS. Or you can print, or save to your computer the actual forms filed with the IRS.  Keep in mind that the IRS sets the specification requirements when it comes to e-file, including business forms.

• It’s important to note that Form 1096 is only required if you have issued certain forms and are submitting paper copies to the IRS. If you file your forms electronically, you do not need to submit Form 1096. But, if you're mailing paper versions of 1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, or others to the IRS, you should attach a 1096 summary as the cover sheet.

I am having the same issue...issuing 8 1099-misc for same company and am getting a 1096 for each form....this is not correct....what is QEF doing about this.

The problem is with QEF program....there is a 1096 for every 1099 instead of a 1096 with total forms and total amount....this needs to get fixed.
