How do I use Quick Employer Forms service to re-send, or download a copy of the 1099-NEC form I e-filed? Payee did not receive the form!

You can sign back into QEF Quick Employer Forms here,

Did you mail him the 1099NEC?  Quick Employer Forms does not send it for you.  You should also save a pdf copy when you were done.  So you should be able to print it out again.

Thanks for explaining that.  

I was very annoyed when my desktop version of TurboTax took me to Quick Employer Forms to submit 1099.  It was clunky, hard to set up, and buggy.  I DID assume that it would be sent to BOTH the IRS and the Payee as any normal person would expect.  Just email out a link to download the form, and protect it with a code generated to ensure privacy.  I wish Quick Employer Forms was more clear about that point.  

Unfortunately, I do not have access to the forms anymore.  I did already log into that website for Quick Employer Forms that you sent me, but it is acting like I didn't pay for the service, and is no longer showing me the forms.  Therefore, I am unable to view or download them.  They are gone from that website!  My financial records are mine, and my files generated in the past should ALWAYS be accessible.  Anything less is poor customer care.

I had a similar problem with the desktop version of TurboTax, which after updating required me to find and re-enter the license key, and is crashing and issuing dialog boxes to send the crash report to Intuit, but it doesn't successfully send the crash report.  

It seems that Intuit is struggling to accurately recognize who has paid for the software and service, and struggling to write bug free code... 

I do have the email confirmation that the forms were e-Filed with the IRS, but unable to support the payee.

I know that https://quickemployerforms.intuit.com is an Intuit product, but the Turbo Tax support people don't have information on Quick Employer Forms and therefore cannot help.  They were unable to find a support number that could offer better help.  

Quick Employer Forms website doesn't seem to have a support number.  When I click on the "contact us" button at the bottom, it takes me to the TurboTax community, which doesn't offer support information for this specific problem.

After 3 hours on the call with tech support for Turbo Tax, including 20 minutes on level 2 support, here is the answer.  You MUST access the website from the link at the bottom of the Turbo Tax Desktop version home page.  There is a link that says "file 1099", and only by using that link will you be allowed to see your files.

Apparently Intuit needs the software key sent to the website from your copy of Turbo Tax, otherwise it claims you haven't paid for it and it won't work.  Why they  cannot get it from their own records, I don't know.  But, you cannot just plug in the URL into a web browser and get it to work.

Most IT support people cannot help you with Quick Employer Forms, because they have not been trained.  Level 2 support also has not been trained on this specifically, but they were able to figure it out from documentation and trial and error.
