Feature - 2021 1099-NEC Support
Version: 8.5 and Above
The 2021 1099-NEC form has been resized. The height of
the form has been reduced so it can accommodate three forms on a page. Also, the layout of the laser forms for Copy A and Copy B are slightly different. Copy A only accommodates one address line for the recipient.
Due to the layout changes, it is necessary to use a laser form template when printing the 1099-NEC forms. The 1099-NEC laser form template is provided when updates are installed. To install the template, please refer to the following KB article:
