I have always issued our 1099's through the quickbooks application. That was no longer an option, as QB has started using this service. I never could get my info to automatically transfer, which wasn't a big deal, I thought. I only had 5 vendors, so I just manually added all of the information. The lack of email confirmation was disappointing, but I could see they were scheduled, so ok. The status forms load very slowly, and in addition to that, I could never locate an option to view the status of whether or not the forms had been mailed to the recipients or not. I used the online chat for that. The chat session was ok. The guy walked me through how to run the report (you actually have to export a report to excel--there isn't a place on the site that shows status of mailings. So I did that, and discovered they were still showing "scheduled" to be mailed. That was still ok, as we were still in the the deadline. That was approx Jan 26, which was about 2 weeks after I initially filed. But I just checked today, and it shows my federal submission as "processing" which according to the key means they've been submitted but waiting on the IRS to approve submission. Fine, but the quickbooks app I used to use had a 24-48 AT most hour turnaround from filing to acceptance! Anyway... I did a new exported excel report, and the status of forms to be mailed to recipients still shows "scheduled". It is now Feb 3. I will not be using this again. And I really hope quickbooks does not either.
