1099-NEC - several Copy A's were not generated

I have 4 contractors to whom I issue 1099-NECs. When I completed the 1099-NECs, TurboTax only generated Copy A (file with the IRS) for 2 of those: the one to whom we paid the most and the one to whom we paid the least. I've been unable to get the other 2 to generate. Since these must be filed with the IRS by January 31, I'm desperate to know what to do. Please help!

You sure there are not 2 Copy A on each page?  

 

If you don't use efile, here are the instructions for filing Forms 1099-MISC & 1099NEC and 1096
For each Form 1099, you should have the following copies:
Copy A for the Internal Revenue Service (two different people per page);
Copies B, C, and 1:
…….(Copy B for the recipient);
…….(Copy C for your records); and on the same page
…….(Copy 1 for the state tax department, if required).

Include all pages of Copy A with Form 1096 (do not staple), sign Form 1096,


IMPORTANT: Do not cut or separate Forms 1096 or 1099-MISC Copy A, even if a form is blank.

Actually it looks like there are now 3 copy A on the same page.  I added 2 people IC1 and IC2

Thanks for your note. The first page had only one on it, so I didn't look at the second page. It had 3 on it!
