There are two different approaches to producing Form 1099-MISC and accompanying Form 1096 Transmittal using TurboTax.

 

The simplest is to use the online service that is available called Quick Employer Forms which not only produces Form 1099-MISC but also W-2, 1099-INT and 1099-DIV.

 

The link to get you started is here, but realize that all your employee data for your 1099-MISC recipients will be stored online only.

As a purchaser of either TurboTax Business or Home&Business, you can use this link and sign in with the log-in used to either purchase the product or to register, or to access support.

 

Alternatively, you can do all Form 1099-MISC/1096 work, except printing, on your computer and then go online to QEF to electronically transmit the 1099-MISC Copy A& 1096 [note these forms require printing on red-inked forms which is why it makes sense to do  online submittal]

There is a message that says Quick Employer no longer available.

I HAVE done my 2 1099-NECs and sent them to workers on time.

But I haven't filed them with IRS and I haven't done 1096.  Will I get help with this when I do my own taxes.  I am not a "business".  But I have residential income property and do need to file this form for 2 people who are not employees and not contractors.  Now what?  Thank you.

To use Quick Employer Forms you must either have TurboTax Business, Desktop Home and Business or pay for Online Self Employed.

 

To pay for Online Self Employed

Go to Print Center in the left hand panel

 

The  select pay now

 Once you have paid for Online Self-Employed you will have access to Quick Employer Forms.

This year 1099-NEC is being used for non-employee compensation that previously was reported on 1099-MISC Box 7.
