To prepare forms 1099-MISC or W-2 for another company in TurboTax Business, save your open return and start a new return.

On the Start a new return screen, click on Prepare W2/1099 (see attached screenshot 1).
On the next page, you will be given a choice between preparing your forms Online or using your desktop.
We recommend doing it online as you can efile for free. You can still print the forms to send to your employees or contractors.
Click Choose Online and you will be taken to the TurboTax Quick Employer Forms (QEF) website.
Sign in with your TurboTax username and password. If you do not have an account, click Create Account to create a new account. Note carefully the username and password as you need then if you need to retrieve the forms later.
After signing in, click on Create New Form
On the next page, choose the type of forms you wish to prepare then click Continue
On the next page, you can add another business by clicking the drop-down arrow next to Choose Business or Add a New one (see screenshot 2). Click on Add a Business
On the next page, fill in the new business information and prepare your forms.
