I just received this email (below) from QuickBooks. It blames 3rd party forms for the problem. I use, forms ordered from the IRS, which is the 1st party & the offical forms. For QuickBooks to fail to provide the printing capablity on the offical forms is their failure not anyone else. Therefore QuickBooks compatilbe forms should have matched with offical IRS forms. This problem should be shown to the CEO of Intuit for him to see the lack of support and incompetence of the staff members/managers that let this happen. To make this worst QuickBooks apparently didn't know they had a problem, till they were questioned about it (so much for pre-testing). These correct/offical forms have been available from the IRS months prior but the problem became a end of year crisis. They seemed to have sat on the problem & still have no fix, but cast blame on someone/something esle. Taking blame for their error would mean that staff members/managers would have to answer to customers and their bosses.
| Dear Employer, |
| QuickBooks Desktop customers using third party forms when printing 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC Forms from QuickBooks may notice an issue with the "For calendar year" box. The box shows 202022 because 20__ is pre-printed on the form. |
| What do I need to know? |
| Our products are designed to print on Intuit forms (they are guaranteed to be QuickBooks compatible). Forms from third parties may or may not be compatible. |
| If your 1099 form stock shows 20__ in the "For calendar year" box, you aren't using QuickBooks-compatible forms. While you don't have to use QuickBooks forms, the year box may print as 202022. |
| Will my 1099 forms still be processed accurately by the IRS? |
| The printed text is in black ink on the red form stock. The 1099 processing systems don't read the red text. The IRS confirmed that forms with the following date formats will still be accepted: 22, 2022, or 202022. You can print your 1099s on Intuit stock or from a third party. |
| This email is to inform you that although the 202022 on the 1099's may be alarming, the IRS will still process the forms accurately. For more information on 1099 forms, please visit our Print 1099 and 1096 forms article. |
| We hope this email clears up any confusion surrounding the "For Calendar Year" displayed on third party forms. |
Sincerely,
The QuickBooks Team |
