Information Return System 1099-NEC List

Is there a way to export/import the information for people who received 1099-MISC Box 7 in prior years so that the information shows up when completing a 2020 1099-NEC?  Otherwise, we will have to hand key information we already have all over again.

New release 2020.1.3 has a Data Transfer Utility.  Open the 1099-MISC form under each company then on the Tools menu, click Transfer to NEC.  It will ask if you want to Append or Overwrite.  This copies anyone that had 1099-MISC Box 7 to 1099-NEC. Bad thing is that you have to do it by company and cannot do it globally.  Still beats hand-keying.

Tell your hands to rest up because I’m pretty sure you are going to be doing a lot of typing.

You can do an export out of your 2019 program of your 1099-MISC data and import it into your 2020 1099-NEC. Use the Help menu on export for detail.

What do you do if you have already replaced the 2019 program with the 2020 version?  Hand key all this mess?
