1099-NEC will not process for efiling

SOLVED
Posted By

The 1099-NEC processing is not working. I was able to process the 1099-MISC forms without any issues. With the 1099-NEC you go thru the set-up and the last items is to truncate ID's or not. Once you select next from this screen you go back the to beginning as if you had just selected to process vendor 1099s. The review pages do not populate as they did for the 1099-MISC processing.. I tried to process the 1099-NEC on two different computers and no luck. Though I'll admit that the second computer used a back-up from the first computer to get current on the data. I also have closed and opened the program even rebooted the computer. Still no luck processing stops at the same point each time. Am I missing something?  Thank you.

    Hi  ,

    Thanks for reaching out. I understand how frustrating it can be when you're following the set-up process and it doesn't proceed as expected. Based on your description, it seems like a software glitch that's causing the process to loop back to the start without allowing you to complete the e-filing.

    From the article you referenced and the knowledge base at Sage, it's clear that 1099-NEC forms should be processable just like the 1099-MISC forms. Since you've already attempted the process on two different computers and experienced the same issue, I'd suggest checking a few things:

    1. Make sure that the software and all its components are updated to the latest version.
    2. Verify that all vendors that need a 1099-NEC have been properly marked in the system (AP, Vendors, Maintain Vendors, Other).
    3. If you have closed your Accounts Payable year and are trying to process 1099's for the previous year, ensure you're doing so from a backup made prior to the closing as per the guidelines in the FAQs on 1099 processing.

    If you've already checked these areas and the problem persists, I would recommend reaching out directly to Sage support. They may need to investigate further to determine why the 1099-NEC form is not processing correctly in your case.

    Don't hesitate to get in touch with them, and in the meantime, you may also want to create a custom report to get the total paid to your vendors during the calendar year as a temporary workaround.

    Warm Regards,

    Thanks for all of this. I did check all those items. Heck I have used BW for about 25 years (it was a DOS program on disc when I started) so I have a pretty good idea on how it works. I believe it was a glitch for whatever reason. I attempted to process the next day and it worked, go figure. But I would like to point out one issue. On the screens that you verify specific information, the names did not populate correctly. All the names were listed under the Optional Name column  and nothing was populated in the required name columns. In fact an error message appeared when I tried to proceed. I had to manual enter the names in the proper columns and then delete the names from the Optional Name column. This is the first time I have ever had to make this correction.
