Step 6: If everything looks good you can print your data on pre-printed 1099-NEC forms or blank paper.

Step 7: Depending on what capabilities you have enabled inside W2 Mate, you can also e-File your forms or create PDF documents to email to the contractors \ vendors.

Step 8: If filing on paper, go ahead and review the 1096 form and print along with the red copy A that needs to be mailed to the federal government.
