I have more than 10 subcontractors so I understand that I must efile my 1099s & 1096 to the IRS, but I do not see an option to do that in the Home & Business tax preparation program... what do I do?

Yes, you are required to file electronically if you have more than ten Form 1099s. You can e-file your forms with Quick Employer Forms. You may have additional fees.

Another option is e-filing your forms through the IRS website portal. Here is a link.

You can only paper file Form 1099/W-2 with TurboTax Home & Business.

In the Window's Home & Business Desktop program to Prepare W2s or 1099s, there are 2 ways to start.

1. Go up to File - Create 1099/W-2

2. On the beginning screen that has the Continue box and Start a New Return blue button, below is the Create 1099/W-2 button.

Then you will get a box to Create employer forms using Quick Employer Forms OR you can pick Create forms on Desktop at the bottom. If you use Create Forms on your Desktop you have to mail them to the IRS and not efile.
