First of all, I have no idea why Sage changed the 1099 forms. You can no longer print them from Sage. Its ridiculous. The new program is horrible. None of the Tax ID numbers line up. I have no idea how to line them up. The deadline is next week. Why did they do this?? We might switch accounting programs after 20 years of Sage. I hate this.
Also, they are trying to tell me that the IRS no longer uses the Red forms? I don't think so. The IRS website does not say that. The IRS sample form says you must use this Red form that they will not allow you to have unless you buy it from them. I already bought some from Quill. I despise these programs and the IRS. All greedy crooks who keep changing every thing so they can make more money. And waste more of my time.
Ultimately I am probably going to make a template on Excel and use trial and error to line everything up. I'm guessing it will take 4 days to do these 6 recipients. Thanks Sage.
