Yes, you can prepare 1099 NEC by going to Quick Employer Forms.  As you answer your interview questions, you will reach a page that asks Did you pay any employees in 2021? On that page is a link Help me prepare W2's or 1099's. When you select that link, there will be a link to Quick Employer forms that will appear.
