For Form 1096, the Top1 and Top2 seem to be spaced too far apart so that if I change the offsets for one, the other is too far off. Please advise.
Actually not the Top1 and Top2 sections, but just the Top1 section between Filer’s info and Box 1-5.
Im not sure but you can call anytime. My direct line is 608-444-6575. We can make it print correctly.
I made changes to the 1099’s and now I can’t get a 1096 to print at all from either the print button or from the 1096 list. The 1096 list window doesn’t show a payer in the top box.
Try calling any time. My direct line is 608-444-6575. The software should work.
Printed and transmitted to the IRS my 1099 MISC and 1099 INT’s – was a 1096 automatically sent to the IRS when I transmitted my 1099 MISC and 1099 INT? If not, do I have to transmit a 1096 to the IRS or mail a hardcopy to the IRS?
