Hi, mamafeist.

QuickBooks Desktop Contractor 2017 is a discontinued and no longer supported version of QuickBooks. Updates and printing 1099s are unavailable in this program.

You might want to consider upgrading your QuickBooks Desktop so you can print your 1099-NEC and back to running your normal business processing.

However, if you want to keep your QuickBooks version, I'd suggest looking for a third-party application where you can prepare and print your 1099 forms. Here's an article for your reference in printing the forms: Print your 1099 forms.

Additionally, you go through this article: How to modify your chart of accounts for your 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC filing. This will provide you with more details about the 1099-NEC filing as well as the steps on how to move the payments to the new account.

I'll be here to lend a hand if you have more questions regarding printing 1099s or any other QuickBooks concerns. Have a good one.
