Do I still have to print my 1099s to give to the contractors or vendors, and where do I get 1099 paper?
E-filing your 1099s does not replace the IRS requirement of providing 1099s to your recipients (contractors or vendors). If you are using the Intuit 1099 E-File Service, you can download and email (or print and mail on plain paper) your 1099 forms to contractors.

How do I check the status of my filing?
You may return to your 1099 E-File account here and verify the status.
Below are the list of statuses and what they mean:
- Not Submitted: You have not e-filed Form 1099-MISC with the IRS. You can continue revising it.
- Submitted: You have e-filed the form to the IRS. (If you need to revise it, you may need to file a manual amendment. Please use the IRS instructions and form.)

Can I submit additional 1099s even after e-filing?
Yes. You can add contractors and submit another batch of 1099 forms. Each transmission or batch will be charged separately to your account.
What is a 1099-Misc form?
The 1099-Misc form is used to report payments made to contractors, such as vendors, contractors, landlords, attorneys, etc. The IRS has specific rules for determining if a worker is an employee or an independent contractor.
For assistance in classifying your workers, visit www.irs.gov and search for Publication 15.
Do I need to file the 1099-Misc form?
An organization that pays independent contractors must file two forms at the end of each tax year:
- 1099-Misc: The contractor version of the employee's W-2. Reports all wages or payments delivered for the entire year. One 1099-MISC form is sent to each contractor who was paid $600 or more during the year.
- 1096: The single transmittal form the payer sends to the IRS. Reports all payments made to all contractors. For example, if a payer sends out fifteen 1099s for the year, the information from all fifteen 1099-Misc forms is captured onto the single 1096.
Because our customers file electronically, they are not required to file form 1096. For assistance in determining whether you need to file this form, visit www.irs.gov and search for Publication 15.
What boxes on 1099-Misc form are supported by 1099 E-File?
1099 E-File supports:
- Boxes 1 to 10
- Boxes 13 and 14
The following boxes are NOT supported:
- Boxes 11 and 12
- Boxes 15 to 18
Here are 1099-Misc form specific instructions and box definitions.
Can I update a Form 1099-MISC after submitting it?
After you submit a Form 1099-MISC, you cannot update it through your Payroll product. Instead, you'll need to file a manual amendment. Make sure before you e-file a form that all the information is correct.
How do I file a manual amendment after I e-file my 1099-MISC form?
- Order 1099-MISC IRS forms online at IRS Online Ordering for Information Returns and Employer Returns or over the phone.
- Fill out the 1099-MISC form and be sure to select the Corrected checkbox.
- Mail the form to the IRS.
- Mail the recipient copy to your contractor as soon as possible so that they can file their taxes.
Can I manually file my 1099-Misc form?
We don't support manual filing of 1099-Misc forms to the IRS. In particular, we don't provide submittable paper for 1099 Copy A and 1096 forms.
| | Note: While the IRS only mandates e-filing for 250 or more 1099s, the fact that we always e-file the forms provides greater convenience and reduces errors. |

- Alaska (AK)
