I appreciate you for joining the thread, @farmer3. I want to ensure you'll be able to print your 1099 in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) with no errors.
I can see that you're trying to prepare and align your form and the system shuts down when doing so. QuickBooks usually crashes when it's corrupted or there's damage in the company or installation file.
To isolate the issue, please make sure to update QuickBooks to the latest release as it becomes available to ensure you have all the updated components.
- Go to the Help menu, then click on Update QuickBooks Desktop.
- Select the Reset Update checkbox to clear all previous update downloads from the Update Now section.
- Tap on the Get Updates tab to start the download.
- When the download finishes, restart QuickBooks.
- When prompted, accept the option to install the new release.
After that, reopen your QBDT file and print your 1099 again. If the error continues, you can check out this link for more troubleshooting steps: Solutions for when QuickBooks has stopped working.
