Next populate the Excel template with the recipient's info by filling in the columns highlighted in red between columns S - AE, you must also fill in box AI with the amount that you paid the contractor throughout the year. Additionally, if you want to contractor to receive a copy of the 1099 in an email fill in column AG with their email address.

Step 7: Since you used the tax1099 template all of the fields should be mapped correctly so you can click next on the bottom right.
Step 8: Your company name should appear in the payer field. If there is a green circle next to all of your contractors that means that the data flowed in correctly. Check the select all box on the top left and then click next on the bottom right.
Step 9: This screen is the final screen and it shows you all the contractors for whom you prepared a 1099-NEC. You can click USPS mail to send them a paper copy of the 1099-NEC (this is the best practice). Additionally, you can click state filing. That way if any states require a separate 1099-NEC, it will be sent. Make sure that the scheduled file date is before 1/31/26 (best practice is a week earlier so that the paper filing will arrive to the contractors before the deadline). Finally, to submit the 1099-NECs click the select all button on the top left (or each contractor that you want to send) and then click submit for this payer on the bottom of the screen.
