ABOUT:
The 1099 recipients are organized in a fashion similar to a Rolodex®. Enter the data on each “card.” You can tab from field to field if you wish. To make another card click on New. To Delete a card click on Cut. Move through cards by clicking on the navigation buttons (triangles). You may also move through the cards using the right and left arrow keys on your keyboard. (Unless you have a text I-bar. Then you need to use the OPTION modifier key — press Option-arrow key.)
Use Command-F to find particular text quickly.
Click on the QUIT button icon to quit.
The menubar is available by pressing Command-spacebar.
You only have to enter the Payer Info once. Click on the button.
When you go to print click on the LaserWriter® icon. The default is 5 copies with three cards per copy. You may only print marked cards - useful when you need to re-do one or two.
If you get really frustrated go back to using a typewriter for 5 minutes. (Ha!)
Other tips:
• Keep your master disk locked and in a safe place. It is recommended that you do not use it but rather make a copy of it and leave this master alone.
• It is recommended that you use 1099s from a hard disk. (Copy it to your hard disk before you use it.) Using it from a floppy disk may result in slower operation and distorted sound. Otherwise it will be fine.
• If your Mac has problems opening 1099s it may be confused. Open the HyperCard application first, then chose “Open Stack” under the file menu to open 1099s. You should only need to do this once. (This problem may occur if you have 1099s on your hard disk and on a floppy disk in your floppy disk drive at the same time.)
• The full working version of 1099s is $20. Please do not share a registered version, give it away, or sell it. EACH COPY IS UNIQUELY LICENSED TO THE USER. However, feel free to distribute the unregisted version of the software as long as this text file, "About 1099s Made Easy,” is included.
• Because of a problem with manual printing, this application may not work with the Personal Laserwriter series. Try printing by selecting "Print Report" under the File Menu INSTEAD of printing by clicking on the LaserWriter icon on the card.
• It has been fully tested with PostScript® LaserWriter drivers 7.1.2 and 8.1.1. It you need one of these it may be available online from a BB service, local dealer, or Macintosh User Group.
• It is important that you leave the page-setup (under options) at
1. precision bitmap
2. larger print area.
If you have problems with print alignment, check these first!
Alignment may vary. Remember to take the time to align your paper guides for manual feed so they hold the forms straight, but not too tight. Some of the very thin copies may slip a couple of millimeters, but usually the output alignment is still of a quality to be satisfactory.
If you need to void or correct a recipient form follow the guidelines in the IRS 1099 phamphlet.
• Free Forms can be ordered (Cat. No. 63318P) from the IRS at:
Central Area Distribution Center
P.O. Box 8910

Western Area Distribution Center

P.O. Box 85075

• Tear the paper forms (5) free from their left 'binder' and hand feed.

Addendum for the power user…
If you want to try tweaking the layout… (at your own risk, we do not support this!)
1. First make sure you have a back-up. This is VERY important.
2. Under the File Menu chose “Print Report…”
3. A format screen will present itself. From here you can change page margins and text box positions. You may need to consult a HyperCard manual.
