Will I be able to download the draft copies of my 1099/W-2 forms before I transmit them?

Yes, you can download the draft copies of your 1099/W-2 forms before transmitting them to the IRS/SSA. There are two ways you can access the draft copies.

• While preparing 1099/W-2 forms in the form filing flow
• When you have 1099/W-2 forms in the in-progress status

After you initiate the download process, you can either wait until the status changes to "Ready For Download" or click Refresh to get the updated status. You will also receive an email once the draft copy is ready for download. Note that the draft copy link will be available for 7 days only.
