Is there a problem with Quick Employer Forms online? I keep getting an error trying to create a business.

I have followed the FAQ carefully and am trying to use these Forms online for the first time. I have been getting the same "something went wrong" error each time that I try to create a new business. I am already a TurboTax user but haven't started my personal return for this year yet. Does that matter and can I use my same user login for Quick Employer Forms?

Yes, you will need to log into your account to use this.

You can go to this link, Quick Employer Forms, and use your TurboTax Account to log in and e-file from there.

When I print individual forms, I get both 1099 and 1096 or W-2 and w-3 for employee or subcontractor

You should get a 1096 that summarizes all of your 1099 entries and a W-3 which summarizes all of your W-2 entries. The 1099s and W-2s should be mailed to the employees/contractors and the 1096 and W-3 get e-filed to the IRS.

Why do none of the comments to this question address the actual issue?

This problem is not solved. I get this error as well when using online, and I've tried all the basic sltuons (e.g., clearing cache and cookies, rebooting)

I also have this problem. Tried Chrome and Edge browsers on PC and Safari on my iPhone. I left it spinning overnight with no change. Tick tick tick...

I was able to resolve this situation by first logging into TurboTax (online) with my existing account, selecting a product there for filing 2024 taxes, and then returning to the QEF site and logging in with the same user credentials. The 1099 forms creation and efiling then started to work as expected from QEF. Hope that helps.

Thank you for your response. I resolved it by going to Tax1099.com instead.

I suspect this is what many of us will be left doing. However, some users paid for the ability to use QEF, which is a double whammy. What are the chances that Intuit indemnifies those that paid for QEF, but had to find alternatives, none of which are truly free.

It's 01/28 and I am still having this issue. If I try and add the business from 2023, there is nothing there. When I try and create the new business, the 4 dots spin forever. If you navigate away, you get the "something went wrong" error message. I have tried on Microsoft Edge, Firefox, incognito, and regular mode. I still can not do anything within Quick Employer Forms, and I am running out of time.

I solved this problem on my own after being on the phone for hours with Lacerte technical support, after being hung up on, and having them tell me to reboot my computer in safe mode, I went to Tax1099.com and paid $6 per each 1099 processed less than 100. We are now planning to review our use of all intuit tax software, because they really left us hanging on this one.
