can I request a 1099 electronically?

Hi there, Actionanimals. Let me clarify your concern regarding about 1099 form.

The 1099-NEC form cannot currently be filed using QuickBooks Self-Employed. This software is intended to assist with tracking income, expenses, mileage, and taxes for annual tax filings and quarterly estimated tax payments.

For more details, you can check out this article: Overview of QuickBooks Self-Employed. 

Alternatively, you may consider subscribing to QuickBooks Advanced or QuickBooks Online Payroll, both of which enable you to file the 1099-NEC form.

Once you've done subscribing and want to edit your company settings, kindly refer to this article: Edit company settings in QuickBooks Online.
