Linda - Just to clarify.  Is there a IRD for Accounts Payable?

No the program releases for the 1099 NEC took care of anything on AP 1099's.

I read about some updates to the 1099 utility in regards to the NEC form.  Have those updates been released?

If clients are on 2.20.3 and don't have Covid Earnings, do they need to go to 2.21 for YE purposes?
