Hi there, Mimi0725.

 

I can provide you with more details about why you were charged for your third contractor after successfully filing the first two free of charge.

 

Preparing your own 1099 forms in QuickBooks Online (QBO) does not require additional payments. However, if you opted to have QBO print and mail copies to recipients, there is a $5 charge per form.

 

You can verify if you selected this option for your third contractor by reviewing your email for charge details or by using the Intuit Find a Charge tool. This tool will confirm whether the charges are from Intuit and provide a detailed description of what they are for.

 

You are encouraged to leave a reply below if you have further questions or concerns.
