Hi @tdrhodes.

Thanks for checking for help with your 1099 forms. Let's start by checking which release you currently have on your QuickBooks.

To confirm which release you have, hit the F2 button when logged in to QuickBooks, this opens the Product Information screen, look at the release version extension...it'll be the underscore and a number.

• QB 2022 R3_(71+)
• QB 2021 R8_(62+)
• QB 2020 R13_(39+)
• QB 2019 R16_(55+) 

If your product information shows the release version and extension listed above or higher, you’re good to go and have the capability to print the 3 part 1099 forms. If your product release and version is lower than those listed, you’ll need to update your QuickBooks.

It’s important to make sure to update QuickBooks to the latest release. I've outlined the steps below:

1. Go to the Help menu and select Update QuickBooks Desktop.
2. Go to the Update Now tab. Tip: You MUST select the Reset Update checkbox to clear all previous update downloads.
3. Select Get Updates to start the download.
4. When the download finishes, restart QuickBooks.
5. When prompted, accept the option to install the new release.

Once you’ve gone through the update process, hit F2 again and confirm the release version and extension has updated. If not, try updating again.

A few things to keep in mind:

1. Multi-user mode- All additional users must be logged off, then the QuickBooks Admin can log in and update QuickBooks, then close and restart. If other users are logged in during this process, those files won’t update.
2. If you’re using a hosted network or have a hosting service, you may need to reach out to them to confirm the latest updates have been pushed.
3. If you have an anti-virus/firewall installed, you may need to adjust your settings or reboot in safe mode to allow the updates. If the anti-virus/firewall software is causing the update not to download, then the update will download in safe mode and will install after closing and reopening the file.

Once you've successfully updated your release and version R8_62 or higher, and restarted your QuickBooks, you will have the 3 part forms available.

I'd love to hear how it goes! Feel free to reach out with any other questions or if I can help with anything else.
