I do not see the option for online in the software.   Can you please tell me where the it is located and/or provide a screen shot?

Purchased Home and Business Desktop, when I click to enter online nothing happens. Been on the phone with support for hours and had the same issue last year. Logged into Quick Employer Forms but it kept asking me to purchase Business. Purchased Business and it still would not work. Today is the last day to file and Customer Support, while awesome, was unable to figure out why Quick Employer Forms keeps requiring a purchase after being emailed and purchased.

There was no online or desktop option. It is not allowing any option to e-file 1099 forms for subcontractors. Any ideas on how to be able to accomplish that? Thanks in advance.
