You are correct.  This is UNACCEPTABLE.  QuickBooks programmers should have had this fixed weeks ago!!! VERY UNHAPPY with their attitude right now.  All the answers just skirt around and answer other questions that clearly are not what is being asked. 

WHEN will the fix for 3 Up 1099 NEC's be ready.  If I'm stuck with a LOT of 3 Up forms I'm really going to be upset with QuickBooks!!!
