How do I issue 1099 Misc

[TestIt]

I purchased the TurboTax 2020 Home & Business download version (MAC) so I could create and file 1099-NECs for contractors. I can't find how to do it anywhere in the documentation or application's help.

Please provide instructions for creating and filing the new 1099-NEC forms.

Also, my Intuit account does not show that I purchased this product, how do I update my account to show that I purchased this product. I did fill in and send the registration form at the beginning of the installation process.

Let me know if this still works.....

If you are using the Mac Home & Business CD/Download program you can only prepare W2s and 1099s using QEF-Quick Employer Forms.  At the bottom of the Welcome to Turbo Tax screen it should say Create 1099s for Contractors and W2s for Employees.

Another way to get to the Quick Employer Forms is to go to the Business tab - Continue

Select I'll Choose what I work on (if it comes up)

Top item Profit or Loss from Business - Click Start

Click Edit by your Business

Then either

Scroll down to Business Expenses

On Other Common Business Expenses, click the start or update button

There are two sections where you can start using the QEF for contractors or employees.

For Contractors, on Contract Labor, Click the Start button

On the screen "Enter Contract Labor Expenses" there is shown "Create and File W-2s and 1099s Online with Turbo Tax Quick Employer Forms" and a "Start here" blue highlighted link.  This will take you to the QEF website.

Thanks so much, that worked.

Here's what I did:

• I exited the tax return I was preparing.
• I started a new return.
• Under "Manage and Grow Your Business" I clicked on the link "Create 1099s for your contractors and W2s for your employees."
• That took me to the QEF web site where I could enter the 1099-NEC information.

Is this answer still accurate for 2022 taxes? I don't want to pay, start my return, and then discover that TurboTax no longer supports filing 1099s.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for creating W'2 and Form 1099's - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-forms/create-w-2-1099-forms-employee...

According to that article, the answer is NO. People using the downloaded Turbotax Home & Business software for Mac cannot file 1099-NECs at all for the 2022 tax year.

This is really not the answer I was hoping for, but I need to file 1099-NECs this week, so I guess I will be using the Live products. I'm more and more disappointed with TurboTax's service every year, but they kind of have a monopoly in this area, at least as regards my needs. :(

The main FAQ for preparing them makes it sound like Mac can't do them but I think that is only to do them on your computer using the built in W2/1099 reporter. You should be able to still use the Online QEF Quick Employer Forms method.   Haven't heard anyone come back and say they couldn't use Mac Home & Business.

I use Turbo Tax Home & Business to issue 1099-NEC to my employees, these 1099-NEC need to transmit to IRS by February 28. does Turbo Tax do the transmission for me? 

[vlytran6488]

after issue 1099-NEC we have to transmit these forms to IRS. Does Turbo Tax do the transmission to IRS for us?

[JamesG1]

Yes.  

You may create and transmit W-2's and 1099 forms using Intuit's Quick Employer Forms.  See this link.

You may also create and transmit W-2's and 1099 forms using TurboTax CD / Download Home & Business.
