Hello there, @croyston311.

Let me add details regarding the error you received when e-filing 1099s.

Please note that the error you receive when you submit your 1099 forms using Quickbooks usually occurs when re-subscribing to payroll. Hence, having an active subscription is essential to electronically file your 1099 forms successfully.

However, I recommend contacting our customer support team if you've encountered the error, though you have an active subscription. You can follow the steps provided by my colleague above to connect with them.

On the other hand, you can review this material to help determine who needs 1099s, the payment totals, and more: Create 1099 reports in QuickBooks.
