Taxes

Thanks for posting here, @Michele08,

Joining the discussion to share some more information about this 1099 concern.

Creating a backup copy is part of the 1099 process in QuickBooks Desktop. You will see this in the Create your 1099s in QuickBooks Desktop section of this article: Create and file 1099s with QuickBooks Desktop

At the moment, we can't skip this step, so if you get a prompt to do a back up, you can save it locally then delete it after.

We understand the need to have the option to bypass this step, most especially if your account is set up for automatic back up. 

Don't worry, you can send a suggestion to our engineers and take part with our product enhancements. We want your voice to be heard and be put into action. To log a suggestion to our developers for tips, go to the Help menu and select Send Feedback Online.

If need further help with creating a local back up, you can contact our representatives. Refer to this article to learn more about our contact options and support availability: Contact QuickBooks Desktop support

If you have additional questions about 1099's, let me know in the comment. I'll be glad to share some more insights to help you. Have a good day!
