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

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.
