How do I file 1099-Misc as a user of the *download* version of TurboTax Home and Business? I can only find instructions for users of the online version.

In the past, I've gone to Intuit Quick Employer Forms, but now that just shunts me to a site where I can purchase TurboTax (again).

Here's 2 screen shots I just made for you

You can do them 2 different ways from the Windows Desktop Home & Business program.  Either Online using Quick Employer Forms (QEF)  -or- directly on your computer with the built in W2/1099 Reporter.

In the Window's Home & Business Desktop program to Prepare W2s or 1099s, click the big blue button to Start a New Return or go up to File-New Tax Return.
Then on the next screen it asks What would you like to do?

If you get a screen with 2 choices, Check the second 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 get a screen that says Continue your Tax Return and a box listing your returns then go up to FILE - New Tax Return again and you should get a box to pick the type of return you need to prepare.  Pick US Forms W-2/1099 Reporter

Thank you for a great explanation!!! I see that I needed to get out of my current return and start anew. Very much appreciated.
