How to edit an already filed 1099 State entered incorrectly. Everything else is correct.

Hi bratblack,

You'll want to file the corrected 1099-MISC form manually. Please refer to the IRS general Instructions for Certain Information Returns for the information you'll need to prepare.

Here's how to file the amended form:

1. Order 1099-MISC IRS forms online at IRS Online Ordering for Information Returns and Employer Returns or over the phone at 800-829-3676.
2. Fill out the 1099-MISC form and be sure to select the Corrected checkbox.
3. Mail the form to the IRS.
4. Mail the recipient copy to your contractor as soon as possible so that they can file their taxes.

If you’re missing a payment or need to edit a contractor payment, follow these steps:

1. Check that all of the correct boxes/categories are selected and matched with the QuickBooks accounts used to track the payments.
2. Be sure the list shows the right tax year and type of vendor.
3. Confirm they meet the 1099 threshold.
4. Note any payments in the “excluded” column. These are most likely credit card payments made to the vendor, which will be reported by the credit card company instead.
5. If you still need to add or edit a contractor payment, go back to the payment in QuickBooks and make the changes there. When finished, come back and finish preparing your 1099s.
