What version of turbo tax do I need to file 1099-misc forms for employees

Either the online Self Employed version or the Desktop Home & Business program or the separate Desktop Turbo Tax Business program if you need to file a 1120 or 1065 Business return.

For Online Self Employed version,

Log into your account

Scroll down to Your Account and click on Show

Click on Create W-2s and 1099s

In your return, Anywhere on any screen you see....

Help me prepare and file W-2s and 1099s

Click on it and the side box will open, Then click on Quick Employer Formsin the side box.

Or from the Account Screen it will take you directly to Quick Employer Forms

Oh and this year you there is a new 1099NEC form instead of 1099Misc.

And you don't file a 1099NEC or 1099Misc for employees, only for independent contractors, sub contractors, outside labor etc.  If you pay employees you hold out taxes and give them a W2.
