Step by step

  1. Open History

    Click History in the dashboard menu. Every file you uploaded is listed, newest first, with the upload date, client, file name, tax year and number of forms. Click Older to see earlier files and Newer to come back.

    A file stays here until you delete it from its row in Files. A file with several payers shows one row per client.

    The History page: a search box and the All files, Not printed and Printed filters above a table of two uploads, each with its upload date, client, file name, tax year 2025, 5 forms, and a Print 1099 button with Mark printed under it.
    History lists every upload, newest first, with its client, tax year and forms. Open full size
  2. Find the file

    Type part of the file name or the client name and click Search. Click a client name to open that client's files for the tax year.

    The search box holds Harbor and is outlined. One row is left: Harbor Light Bookkeeping, demo-harbor-light-nec.csv.
    Search by file or client name narrows the list. Open full size
  3. Print the recipient copies again

    Click Print 1099. It downloads the same Copy B PDF the file produced when it was converted. If the forms are already unlocked, there is no charge.

    After you print and mail the copies, click Mark printed. The row then shows Printed and the date.

    The Print 1099 button on the Harbor Light row is outlined.
    Print 1099 on the row downloads the file's Copy B again. Open full size
  4. See what is not printed yet

    Click Not printed to list the files that have recipient copies nobody has marked printed. Click Printed to list the ones that are done. A search stays in place when you switch filters.

    The Not printed filter is selected and outlined. One row is left: Pinecrest Payroll Services, demo-pinecrest-nec.csv.
    Not printed lists the files whose copies nobody has marked printed yet. Open full size

If something goes wrong

A row shows a dash instead of Print 1099
The file has no recipient copies. Copy B covers 1099-NEC and MISC, and a file with validation errors gets no copies. Fix the file and upload it again.
Print 1099 shows a quote instead of the PDF
The file's forms are not unlocked yet. Pay in the quote, and Print 1099 downloads the PDF. A form you already paid for is never charged again.
No files match
Search looks for the text inside the file name and the client name. Try a shorter part of the name, or click Show all files.

Questions

Does reprinting cost anything?
No, once the forms are unlocked. You pay for a form once, and every output for it is included after that. A file whose forms are still locked shows the quote first.
Can I reprint a file from last tax year?
Yes. History covers every tax year. Search by the file or client name, or page back with Older.
Does downloading a PDF mark the file printed?
No. Click Mark printed after you print and send the copies. Click the Printed date to clear the mark.
Why does one upload show as several rows?
A file with more than one payer EIN splits into a separate file per payer, so each client gets its own row and its own Copy B.
