  3. If you use Payroll, select the employer whose 1099s you want to file.
  4. Enter your EIN. If you use Payroll, this information is already entered for you.
  5. Determine whether you need to file 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC, and select the appropriate option.
  6. We recommend testing totals before filing. Beside 1099 E-File, click Run Yearly Test Totals.

  14. To pay to e-file the 1099s, click Add to Cart. All selected 1099s are added to your cart. If you need to e-file multiple forms, you can wait until all items are in your cart before paying.
    Note: At any point, in Ledger/Payroll, click Launch the PDS Tax E-File Dashboard on the General Information tab to view forms you have started but not yet submitted to the IRS.
  15. Review the items in your cart. At this point, you can view reports of the information you are about to file. Do this to double-check names, amounts, and other information. Click Reconciliation Report or Summary Report.
