Thanks for joining the thread, @TreeDown, and @Admin134.

Currently, we're unable to provide payroll and tax form updates for QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) Pro 2017. That's why it isn't allowing you to access and print Form 1099-NEC. 

You may also consider upgrading your QBDT to the latest version. This way, you'll have uninterrupted access to our latest payroll updates and other services.

In the meantime, you can check out this article to learn more about Form 1099-NEC in QBDT: Create and file 1099s with QuickBooks Desktop. It also includes answers to the most frequently asked questions about it.

I'm also adding this link to further guide you in filing your 1099s to the IRS: Tax Year 2020 - Instructions for Forms 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC.

Feel free to drop a comment below if you have other concerns about Form 1099-NEC in QBDT or inquiries. I'll be around to help. Take care always.
