Generating 1099 Forms by Using BI Publisher

Use the BI Publisher to create a Blank-Sheet and Pre-printed format for the 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-MISC, 1099-G, and 1099-NEC forms. You can modify the BIP templates to generate the PDF outputs for the Blank-Sheet and Pre-printed 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-MISC, 1099-G, and 1099-NEC forms. You can select the Blank-Sheet format radio button to print different forms through the Write Media Application program (P04515). You use the new processing options to define the new BIP version, which is used to run the report through the UBE Summary Report (R04515), to generate Blank-sheet and Pre-printed format. You use BI Publisher to generate 1099 forms using the Rich Text Format (RTF) template.

Each format has a template with their design (RTF), and this template is associated with the UBE version through a Report definition. If you create a new batch version or copy an existing version to run Blank-Sheet or Pre-Printed, you should associate it with a template and report definition. If you run a new version that is not associated with a template and report definition or any other versions, then the system will print the old Pre-Printed version. The 1099 templates available are:

  • The Blank Sheet format for 1099-Misc, 1099-Div, 1099-Int, 1099-G, and 1099-NEC: This template prints two per page on a blank paper for 1099-Misc, 1099-Div, and 1099-Int, and three per page for 1099-G and 1099-NEC. This is a copy of the Copy B that the IRS provides. This template will print the boxes as well as the data that they contain.
