Thank you for your answer, Charles.  I went back to the instructions you reference and I do see that it says no 1096 for e filed 1099's....but, I posed a question on here at the same time in another thread, and got a different answer from two other people on Intuit help - Mark_R and Rea_M, which is causing me the confusion.  Your answer is the only one that makes sense, especially when it is telling me that if I file them by paper now that they are e-filed and accepted, I will be fined by the IRS!  Plus, you, Charles, have admin status, so I would think that is the highest rank?  It is so confusing that I want to cry.
