2024 Turbo Tax Home & Business (Desktop) - W2 & 1099 Forms are still not available to be printed. What in the world could be the hold up with these simple forms?

Are you using "Create Forms" -- or are you using Quick Employer Forms? If you use Quick Employer Forms it should work.

I am having the same issue and must ask why the forms would be available in the on-line version (quick forms you reference) vs. the desktop version. For the price that we pay for this software, I expect these very simple forms that are due in 2 weeks to be available at the same time they are available on-line. I like to do my 1099's on the desktop since that is where I will do my tax return.

So, I will ask what everyone else has asked. Today is 1/13. When can we expect the 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC forms to be ready for printing/filing on the desktop version of Turbo Tax for Business 2024?

I have been using TurboTax desktop for over 20 years to do W-2 and 1099 usually in the first week of January.

It's now the 13th. "Available Soon" is not an answer.

PLEASE FIX IT.

When is the 1099-NEC form ready?

Please check back at the end of the week for an update.

I have the same issue!

The TurboTax Desktop program is being updated. You can check back at the end of the week or as an alternative, you can go to this link, Quick Employer Forms, and use your TurboTax Account to log in and e-file from there.

This is ridiculous. I did go online for 1 personal 1099 filing but doing it again for my more complicated business is unacceptable. My Business is not listed despite being signed-in. Online then wants to take over the preparation of my 1120S. I simply need to prepare and file 1099s.

When will update for Home & Business and for Business be ready?

We simply need to prepare and file 1099s. Very dissapointed TurboTax!

I have never purchased intuit business software before (desktop) and the 1099 forms are still not available as of 1.14.25. Intuit you do realize these forms are due by the end of January.

Historically I have used payroll mate for 1099's but needed to process a business tax return that I normally do not need to prepare. What a complete waste.

Smartie

It just feels like Intuit keeps trying to FORCE their clients to use their online version when a lot of us don't like their cloud versions, QB Online? Horrible, TurboTax Online? Horrible.. Why keep offering the desktop version of such software's if you don't plan on keeping a good service? It's January 15th and the Desktop version is still not up to date, and I WON'T be using TurboTax Online. Intuit better fix your product or simply start refunding every single client that has bought the Desktop version since is not providing the service that we are paying for!

@Smartie TurboTax software updates occur on the desktop and online editions on the same date.

See this TurboTax website for federal and state forms availability - https://form-status.app.intuit.com/tax-forms-availability/formsavailability?albRedirect=true&product=Turbotax_online&bu=cg

Smartie

That link doesn't even show 1099-NEC nor w2s.........

sunshine381

I am having the exact same issue. Why would they advertise a Desktop version with certain forms, to later find out that it ACTUALLY does not support the forms?? This is a SCAM. Turbotax needs to refund whoever is not able to file using desktop. Or FIX IT NOW! Unexcusable!

AnnerB

I agree 100%. I have reached out to my State Attorney General to report this fraudulent practice by Turbo Tax to try to force us to file our 1099s online. I suggest others do the same.

TMcGuire

The windows program has been updated and the forms are avaialibe.

Czbgerman

Are you sure tried getting them yesterday. Unless they done them overnight.

Jan 18 and still not ready. Been using Turbo Tax for years. Called Turbox Tax and was told just have to wait, it’s the IRS problem. not their problem. Unacceptable answer.

Turbo Tax even said that if Jan 31 comes and the form is still not ready to print, deal with IRS. Horrified!!!

The same issue. I use Turbotax desktop on Mac. The screen for entering SSA-1099 info still not available. Very annoying since I want to get it done, and our info is a little more complicated than most people - really don't want to have to wade though the full form.
