I was just on the phone with QB for an hour.  1st person said I HAD to upgrade to 2022 and that was the ONLY fix (I have 2020).  Then spoke to a supervisor that said they released a fix today for the 1099 NEC problem with an update.  I will see if there is a new updates tomorrow because I had already tired to update today and it didn't fix it.  Let's all hope we can get the "fix" this week or do we all need to purchase the $349 annual subscription?  I was told if I did that it would work for sure....I'm not convinced.
