Sage decided to let it's software vendor chose how to present Form 1099-NEC this year. IRS still requires red copy and the traditional preprinted 3 up form does not work in the Aatrix software. The only way to use the software is to buy blank 4 up forms and the only place they are available is at Sage website. Also, IRS still requires red Form 1096, but the software does not allow you to print on the preprinted 1096 either. Looks like Sage and Aatrix conspired to force feed you into on line filing. All well and good, but at $14.95 for a single 1099-NEC, that is a bit of a scam.
