Decades user here.  Always print and mail my 1099s/1096 myself.   With the new e-file mandate, is efile available to me?  I still want to print and mail my 1099s, I just want to know if I have the ability to efile with the IRS through QB?  Unfortunately I delayed signing up on the free IRIS portal through the IRS and it is a 45 day approval process.  I have searched here for posts about it but there is nothing current, and I am seeing mixed information about it being free or not and also whether or not QB mails the 1099s to my subs, which I do not want.  I just need to IRS efile this year only, I will do it myself directly with IRS in future years.
