I purchased preprinted forms online (not from Intuit) and they were marketed to be compatible with Quickbooks, and I purchased them from the same provider in previous years with no alignment issues.  I already called QB support and unfortunately because I didn't order forms from Intuit they didn't have much help to offer.  Therefore I'm back to square one.  In my opinion Intuit preprinted 1099-NEC form kits are grossly overpriced at $72.99 for 10...this is the price shown for the state I'm located in (WI).
