Print prior-year 1099 forms after closing the year

Created on  | Last modified on 

Summary

Sage BusinessWorks provides several options for printing prior-year 1099 forms after year-end processing. The best method depends on your version, whether you have a backup from before the Accounts Payable year-end close, and whether you need to eFile.

Description

  • Make sure your company data matches the filing year before you eFile 1099s.
  • You can print 1099s using data from a different year. However, eFiling requires the data to match the filing year.
  • If you saved or printed 1099s before closing December, see instructions for accessing saved 1099s.

Resolution
