1099NEC

[Peter56]

1.  I do not have an EIN, only a social security number.  Can I file 1099NEC with only a social security number?

2.  I am using TurboTax Home and Business Desktop to generate my 1099NECs.  Does Home and Business include the forms for the 1096 and the 1099NEC Copy A for printing and mailing?

3.  Can I file 1099NEC 1O96 and Copy A electronically using Home and Business Desktop?

I have Home & Business too.

1. YES you can use just your ssn, I do.

2.  Depends if you use the Quick Employer Forms or do them on your computer in the Windows Desktop program.  The Quick Employer Forms only supports e-filing of the forms with the IRS and Social Security Administration. Copy A of the Form 1099 and W-2 are only used for e-filing and are not provided for printing.

See Quick Employer Forms FAQ

Quick Employer Forms | Common Questions (FAQ)

3.  Yes you can efile by using Quick Employer Forms.  

Are you using Windows or Mac?

In the Window's Home & Business or Business Desktop program to Prepare W2s or 1099s, go to Start a New Return or File-New Return.

Then on the next screen it asks What would you like to do?

Check the circle that says Prepare W-2s and 1099s for my employees or contractors.  Then that will expand and give you a choice to prepare them online or on your computer.

If you select to do them online using the Quick Employer Forms the forms are efiled to the IRS.  You then print the copies to give out to your people and print copies for yourself.  See this for more info…..

If you select to do them on your computer you are responsible to mail the forms to the IRS.
