I EFILED 1099S LAST YEAR FOR MULTIPLE COMPANIES USING TURBO TAX FOR BUSINESS, NOW I CAN'T FIND THEIR FILES WHEN TRYING TO DO 2019 1099S. WHERE CAN I FIND THEM? THIS IS WHY I'VE ALWAYS HESITATED TO USE THE ONLINE 1099S OPTION.

Note: If you already have a tax return open, choose New Tax Return from the TurboTax File menu. Click Yes to save the return you currently have open.

  1. On the home screen, click the blue box, Prepare W-2/1099.
  2. On the next screen, Choose where to prepare your forms, click the Choose Online box.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
  4. You will taken to the TurboTax Quick Employer Forms website.
  5. After you sign in, you should see a list of the businesses from last year.

If you chose to prepare the 1099s On My Computer last year, TurboTax will have created a file and saved it in C:\Users\[your name]\Documents\TurboTax.  It will have  W-2s & 1099s Tax Return in the file name.

Thank you for your response. I have done those steps. After logging in there are not any companies listed. I checked under the previous year tabs and it's blank. I processed over 5 companies last year and can not find them. Any other suggestions?

Could you clarify what recommended solution did not work? Are you trying to access your 1099?
