I appreciate your input.  My point is that Quickbooks isn't cheap and I feel with what I already pay, I shouldn't have to go outside of Quickbooks to file a form that is required.  Also it doesn't appear that Quickbooks is even offering to format the 1099 information in the format that the IRS is requiring to e file through their portal.   So it seems that I either have to pay the exorbitant fee that Quickbooks third party is charging or I will have to hand enter all of my nearly 100  1099's
