We are a NetSuite user and are attempting to use their 1099-MISC reporting feature. When printing the 1099-MISC forms (obtained directly from the IRS) we're having problems getting the the left side to fully line up. In some instances, the city, state, zip information is printed on top of the red box label. Adjusting the margin setting, to fix the issue, would misalign the right side (the boxes with the dollar amounts). My thinking is that the IRS's optical readers do not pickup the pre-printed red text and therefore minor alignment issues on the left side do NOT matter. Can anyone confirm whether minor alignment issues (on the left side) with 1099-MISC forms matter to the IRS?
As a side comment, it would be nice if NetSuite made their software compatible with IRS forms. I'm not certain if they sell their own forms. NetSuite supports says the problem is with our printer. However, their reply doesn't make sense as the right side of the form lines up perfectly. I wonder if other NetSuite users have experienced this same issue.
