# **How to Print 1099-MISC or 1099-INT Forms in Sage 50 (Step-by-Step Guide)**

Printing IRS 1099 forms like **1099-MISC** or **1099-INT** in Sage 50 is a crucial year-end task for U.S. businesses that pay contractors or interest income. Sage 50 has changed how these forms are generated — and this guide walks you through every step from setup to printing or e-filing.

### **📌 What You Should Know Before You Begin**

Before printing any 1099 forms:

* Sage 50 prints 1099s using **third-party Aatrix tax forms** rather than the old in-software templates if you’re on the 2023.0 release or later. Aatrix is included with a valid plan in Sage 50.
* You must have **preprinted IRS 1099 forms** (especially Copy A) for valid IRS submission — you *cannot* print IRS red-ink forms on blank paper.
* Confirm that each vendor is correctly marked as a **1099 vendor** with the right type (Interest or Miscellaneous) in your vendor records.

## ✅ Step 1: Verify Vendor Setup

1. Open your **Sage 50** company file.
2. Navigate to **Maintain > Vendors**.
3. Select a vendor and open the **General** tab.
4. Ensure the “1099 Type” is set to **Interest** (for 1099-INT) or **Independent Contractor/Miscellaneous** (for 1099-MISC).
5. Save your changes. ([Sage Community Hub][3])

> 🛠 *Tip:* Only vendors with a 1099 type will be included when printing forms.

## 🧾 Step 2: Access the 1099 Printing Tool

Once vendor data is set:

1. Go to **Reports & Forms** in the main menu.
2. Select **Forms** and then **Tax Forms**.
3. The **Tax Forms** list will open — choose either **1099-MISC** or **1099-INT** from the available forms.

## 🗓️ Step 3: Select Filing Year & Form

In the Tax Forms window:

* Select the correct **tax year** (usually the prior calendar year).
* Confirm the form type (1099-MISC or 1099-INT).
* Click **OK** to proceed.

From here, Sage 50 via Aatrix will launch a **1099 Setup Wizard**, guiding you through payer information and form options.

## 🛠️ Step 4: Review & Adjust Form Options

During the form setup:

* Confirm your **Company Payer details** (Name, EIN/SSN, address).
* Use the filtering options to select which vendors to include.
* Adjust any **payment limits** or payment methods if necessary.

You’ll typically get an option to **Preview** before printing.

## 🖨️ Step 5: Print Your 1099 Forms

After setup:

1. Choose **Print** or **Print Preview**.
2. Load your printer with the appropriate **preprinted 1099-MISC or 1099-INT stock**.
3. Print the forms — Sage 50 will position the data on your form stock. ([keepertax.com][2])

👉 *Reminder:* IRS Copy A must be on red ink preprinted forms; other copies (recipient, payer) can be printed on plain or perforated paper.

## 🧾 Step 6: Print the 1096 Transmittal Form

If you’re filing by paper instead of e-filing:

* After printing your 1099s, print **Form 1096 (Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns)** from the same Tax Forms section. ([DWD Technology Group][5])

## 💡 Tips for Smooth Printing

✔ **Test print on plain paper first** — this helps ensure form alignment without wasting preprinted stock. ([keepertax.com][2])
✔ **Check totals and thresholds** (e.g., interest $10+ or miscellaneous $600+).
✔ **Re-run vendor payments reports** early before year-end to catch errors.

## 🖥️ Optional: e-File Instead of Printing

Sage 50’s integration with **Aatrix eFile** also allows electronic IRS filing of 1099 forms. This requires a separate e-file subscription with Aatrix and can avoid paper filing altogether.

## 📌 Common Issues & Troubleshooting

**No Forms to Print?**

* Check that vendor payment totals meet IRS thresholds and the vendor is flagged for 1099.
* Make sure you selected the correct tax year.

**Alignment Problems?**

* Use the **Printer Setup/Align** options in preview mode before final printing.
