Note on Reporting Export Compatibility

The Excel files generated by the standard Vendor 1099-MISC and Vendor 1099-NEC reports are not compatible with the Tax1099.com product and will fail to import correctly. Only use the export files generated by the Vendor 1099-MISC Export (Tax1099) and Vendor 1099-NEC Export (Tax1099) in CINC Accounting.

The existing Vendor 1099-MISC and Vendor 1099-NEC reports will continue to allow PDF files to be created for filling in preprinted 1099 forms, but do not mail forms to the IRS after filing electronically.
