Use the W-2 or 1099 Ordering Worksheet to calculate the minimum number of sheets needed when it's time to order W-2 and 1099 forms for your clients. Follow these steps to preview or print a W-2 or 1099 Ordering Worksheet.

Note: This worksheet calculates the absolute minimum number of sheets you need to order. It does not take into account additional factors such as the W-2 separator option, additional copies needed for Copy 1, additional copies to account for printing errors, or additional copies needed per your business practices. Please take these factors into consideration before ordering your forms.

  1. Choose Actions > Process Payroll Tax Forms.
  2. Select either W-2 or 1099 from the Form type drop-down list and, for 1099 forms, select the 1099 type.

    Note: The Ordering Worksheet must be run for each 1099 type separately.

  3. Select the appropriate year from the Year drop-down list and then click the Refresh button.
  4. In the Form Selection grid, mark the checkboxes next to the clients you want to include in the Ordering Worksheet.

    • List clients selected. When this option is chosen, the worksheet displays the summary totals for all selected clients and also lists the clients that are included in the worksheet.
