I'll make sure you're able to fix the error you've encountered while aligning 1099-NEC in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), Kristi27, and SylviaMc.
Fatal errors (uncoverable errors) are sometimes due to missing Windows or QuickBooks updates, damage to your data, computer issues, and program code that needs repairing.
Since you have the latest QuickBooks update, you can perform some recommended solutions to help fix the error.
To start, you'll have to identify how many users are affected. If you're the only user (Admin) who experienced the error, you can run the QuickBooks File Doctor from the QuickBooks Tool Hub. Here's how to download and install the tool:
- Close QuickBooks.
- Download the most recent version (1.5.0.0) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub. Save the file somewhere you can easily find it (like your Downloads folder or your Windows desktop).
- Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
- Follow the on-screen steps to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
- When the installation finishes, double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub.
