Course Description

Do you know how easy it is to use QuickBooks Online's 1099 Wizard to send 1099s to your Contractors? The hard part is understanding the process!

1099s are due by January 31. As you wrap up your business books for the end of the calendar year, it's time to prepare to file your 1099 forms.

Who actually gets a 1099? Contractors who provide services to your company...but only if they’re LLCs or Sole Proprietors, get paid more than $600/yr, and you pay them from your bank account. It’s pretty confusing, but QBO helps you get it right!

QBO Rock Star Alicia Katz Pollock teaches you how to confidently use the 1099 Wizard to prepare, review, and file all the required copies of your federal 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC forms.

She will walk you through each step: automatically gather their W9 info, specify 1099 categories, and use QBO to filter who qualifies. When you’re done you will send their 1099s by email, snail mail printed copies, and submit to the IRS with just a few clicks!

Take this course now and learn how easy it is to efficiently and accurately get your 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC tax forms filed with the IRS.
