Contractors Refusing to Provide W9

I have 3 contractors refusing to provide a W-9. I plan on doing paper 1099-NEC forms indicating "REFUSED" for the contractor EIN. My questions are ...

Do I need to prepare the 1099-NEC on the IRS form with the red ink?

When mailing these to the IRS, do I include a 1096 Form?

I am submitting all the other 1099-NEC forms electronically via Quick Forms.

Not A Product Question

Yes, you must use the official IRS Form 1099-NEC, which you may be able to purchase at a local office supply store. Include Form 1096 with the forms you mail to the IRS. Quick Employer Forms will handle the 1096 for the e-filed forms.
