I'm getting conflicting answers online. Can I (or can I NOT) e-file my form 1096 on TurboTax?

how do I efile by return

Yes, you can file form 1096 together with your forms 1099 using TurboTax Online. You'll need to upgrade to TurboTax Self-Employed.

This is how you create forms 1099-MISC in TurboTax Self-Employed. TurboTax will e-file these forms and include a form 1096 in the e-filing.

To prepare forms W-2 and 1099-MISC, follow these steps:

• Sign out of your account and sign in again. On the landing page, click on Prepare W2s and 1099s (see attached screenshot).
• 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 to begin entering information for your forms.
