IMPORTING USING .XPS to .SRC

This import method replaces the "Print Capture" import method used in years past.

Use this import method if your System will not create a usable Excel Spreadsheet, a CSV file, a text file, an IRS style text file.

This method can be used for extracting your 1099 Data from Quickbooks (desktop), Sage, Peachtree, SAP, Oracle, and any other Accounting Systems that will print on the official IRS PAPER forms. It works by printing your paper forms to the built in Windows XPS printer, instead of your real printer. Then saving the .xps file. Then open the .xps file into our XPStoSRC program which converts the data to 1099Express format (for e-Filing, print-mailing, etc.).

This system supports:

- 1099-NEC for 2020
- 1099-Misc for 2020
- 1099-Misc for 2019 and previous years (2018, 2017, 2016......)

Note: If your System contains current 2020 data, but is NOT UPDATED to print 1099-NEC, YOU ARE IN LUCK. Just use XPStoSRC create into the old format. 1099 Express can then convert the old 1099-Misc forms to the NEW 1099-NEC forms.

It is easier if file extensions are visible. Click Here to Check. Hiding file extensions makes it more difficult.

Detailed Instructions:

- Go to www.1099Express.com. Click the downloads link. Click on "XPS Converter" to download and install the program. A blue and white Icon will be shown on your desktop.
- Open your Accounting System (Quickbooks, SAP, Oricle, Sage, etc.).
- Do whatever is necessary to print your current year 1099s on pre-printed paper forms.
- Somewhere in this process (depending on your System) select the printer as the Windows XPS printer.
- Print your 1099 forms to the Windows XPS printer. This may take some time.
- If your System does not support printing on form 1099-NEC, choose 1099-Misc.
- Save the .xps file created by your System, and open into the XPStoSRC program.
- Save the .src file created, then open that file into the 1099 Express program.
- You can then convert the ALL 1099-Misc forms 1099-NEC, if your system did not support the new 1099-NEC.
- One way to convert files is to click the Options Menu, then "Convert".
