How do I file a 1099 for work done by a contractor with the IRS using turbotaxonline? (I know I have to send a copy to contractor IRS by 1/31...but I don't know how?)

I need to issue a 1099 to a contractor (They did > $600 of work and we paid through a bank account).  I read that I have to file a copy of the 1099 with IRS and with vendor.  Where do I input this into turbo tax? Thank you.

Only the online Self Employed version has access to the Quick Employer Forms.  You have to upgrade which you need to do anyway to enter self employment expenses.

To prepare W2s and 1099s in the Online Self Employed version you have to first start your personal return. Then when you log in you select Take me to my Return. Then the next screen should be the Welcome Back screen. At the bottom under Manage your Return it says Create W2s and 1099s. This will take you to the QEF Quick Employer Forms.  If you are already in your return you can log out and back in again to get to the beginning screen.

Or in your return, Anywhere on any screen you see

Click on it and the side box will open, Then click on Quick Employer Forms in the side box.

Oh, is this for your business?  Or just for personal expenses like remodeling or repairs on your house or rental etc.?  You don't have to give someone a 1099NEC for contractors doing personal work.  Just if you pay them as a business expense on Schedule C.

I'm a landlord.  This is a business expense.
