How to E-File 1099s and Form 1096

If you mean through Qb financial I don't think you can. At least I never have. I do it through my tax program. This would be a nice feature for Qb to add to its financial software however.

Or directly with the IRS. It would be great if we could do it in QBs, but I'm sure there has to be a way to electronically file directly with the IRS. I e-filed them with my state. Anybody else know how to do this?

I use a software called w2 mate, it can import the 1099 forms information from QB and then generate the efile for filing with the IRS. This is their website:

The Intuit 1099 E-File Service launched Jan 1, 2011. Currently it is only for the 1099-MISC. There is a fee. QuickBooks Desktop 2011 and newer users can sync their QB data into this online application and e-file to the IRS. The other copies can be printed on plain paper (no forms to buy).

This service can also be used by Intuit Online Payroll customers and any "standalone" user who has absolutely no Intuit products whatsoever.

• Businesses that need to file 250+ 1099-MISC are required to e-file to the IRS.
• The Intuit 1099 E-File Service participates in the IRS's combined federal/state filing program. The IRS will share e-filed information with 32 states to simplify state filing. Businesses should still check with their state agencies for any other filing obligations.
• The 1096 summary form is not required by the IRS when e-filing.

If you have QB 2011 or newer, make sure the company preference for Tax:1099 is turned on. That will enable you to see the Vendors > Print/E-File 1099s menu item.
