Thanks for joining this thread, LeeAnna.

Let me share some clarifications regarding the submission of the 1096 form.

According to the IRS's most recent publication on Form 1096, those that file their 1099-MISC forms electronically (such as with Intuit's E-file service) do not need to submit 1096.

You can visit this article for more information regarding the service: 1099's E-file FAQ here.

If you want to make sure the 1099s are submitted, you'll receive an email with your filing status after you file your 1099s to the IRS

You can also check your 1099 E-File account to see your filing status. Here's a list of the statuses and what they mean:

• Not Submitted: Haven't e-file the 1099s with the IRS. 
• Submitted: You have e-filed with the IRS. 
• Received by IRS: IRS has received the information. They are either processing it, or it has already been approved. 

In case you need a handy reference about the process of E-filing or printing and emailing your 1099s, here's a guide that can help you out: Create and file 1099s using QuickBooks Online.
