I talked with support yesterday. QB changed their software to require an EIN sometime between last year and this year and they KNOW that it does not allow for SSN. Problem is, no one was notified of this change AND SSN is perfectly acceptable to the IRS. QB said they will not refund the filing fee for the rejected 1099s. I spent all day yesterday on Tax Bandits, manually entering in my contractor's W-9s, so I could file my 1099s with a SSN. WHAT A PAIN! I'll be taking my business elsewhere from now on. Thanks QB.
