Print 1099s for Employees
Note: The following information applies to the Payroll program. For information on setting up and printing 1099 forms in Ledger, see Print 1099s for Vendors.
Before you print 1099s for contract employees, you must do the following:
- Under Employment Information, they should have a W-4 Filing Status of Contract, 1099.
- In the Employer window, verify your organization name, address, phone, fax, email address, and all tax ID numbers. This information will either print on the 1099 or 1096 summary.
- Run the Test Totals report and correct any mistakes.
Contract employees need a 1099-NEC form to give to the IRS. After the 1099 is printed, a 1096 summary is printed. The employee 1099 and 1096 are identical to the vendor 1099 and 1096.
Tip: Remember, you have the option to electronically file your forms rather than printing. (For 1099s and W-2s, the IRS requires you to e-file if you have 10 or more forms.)
