1099-NEC Preparation for Self Employed Minor

BACKGROUND - I need to prepare several 1099-NEC forms for my 16 yo son who is self employed with online income and expenses.  I have Turbo Tax Home and Business disc version loaded and updated.  TT gives me the choice of Online preparation and storing of forms and shows eFile as the filing option.  I want to choose the other option of Home and Business preparation and store forms on my laptop BUT I still need to eFile the 1099's.  That choice mentions filing option of "Print" instead of eFile.

QUESTION - Can I eFile the 1099-NEC through Turbo Tax Home and Business if I choose that Option 2?

Thanks,Larry

No.  Only the online Quick Employer Forms lets you efile them.  Otherwise you are on your own to print and mail them to the IRS.  I only have one to do and I print it on plain paper and mail it.  Or you can buy the official red forms and copy/type the info on them.  I used to go to a library to type it up.
