Hey Summitupllc,

Thank you for reaching out to the QuickBooks Community. I will be happy to help. This article lists all the deadlines, requirements, and penalties. I encourage you to go through the article. 

• 1099 Deadlines

Please let me know if you have further questions or concerns. We will be here to assist. Take care. 

I would like to know when we will be able to make corrections in Quickbooks Online for 1099's.  Corrections!  Not the deadlines for filing.

I appreciate you coming back, summitupllc. You’re right, the corrections for 1099s will be available around February. Allow me to provide a more detailed overview to help clarify.

1099 Corrections for the 2024 filing year will be available by mid-February 2025. We will update you with the specific date as soon as it is confirmed. To stay up-to-date, keep an eye on the Corrections Banner at the top of your Tax Center page in QuickBooks Online. The banner will notify you precisely when you can start making corrections. Currently, the message on the banner, "Corrections will be available later in February," means the feature hasn’t launched yet. It will be updated or removed once the corrections are live. Additionally, make sure to check the Notifications area for any important updates.

Steps to Locate the Corrections Banner:

1. Navigate to the Taxes menu on the left-hand side menu.
2. Click on Tax Center.
3. Look for the banner at the top of the page for updates on when corrections are available.

Hi, thanks for the info.  Why is it taking so long at this point to have that feature activated?

Hello there, Jay.

The strategic pause in activating 1099 corrections within QuickBooks Online was carefully executed to ensure full compliance with current IRS regulatory standards. Allow me to give you further details.

In line with this, any corrections to 1099 forms must be filed using the same procedures as the original forms. This process requires careful attention to detail to make sure that all information is accurately updated and complying with applicable tax laws.

QuickBooks Online had to implement additional checks and validation steps in its system, which caused an adjustment period in activating the 1099 corrections to ensure everything was handled correctly.

Moreover, for timely updates, I recommend contacting our live support team. They are always available to assist you and can provide up-to-date information and guidance tailored to your specific situation.

Furthermore, I'm adding this resource for future reference so that you'll know how to make corrections to 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC forms after you e-file them: Correct or change 1099s in QuickBooks.

We are fully prepared to assist you with your 1099 correction. For any questions or further assistance, do not hesitate to visit this forum. We appreciate your interest and are eager to make your QuickBooks experience even better.

QBO originally said corrections available 2/3 and now it just says "later in February". So users are supposed to just check daily? Why is this so vague?

I recognize your feelings about the recent shift in our schedule updates to later in February, JCO16. To ensure you receive the most accurate updates, please keep an eye on the Corrections Banner in your Tax Center on QuickBooks Online. This banner will notify you when changes can be implemented. You can find it at the top of the Tax Center page, and I'm here to help guide you through locating it.

Here's how:

1. Go to Taxes.
2. Select Tax Center.
3. Please check on the top banner of the page for notifications about when corrections become available.

The update to later in February for the availability of the corrections feature reflects the importance of ensuring that the feature is both compliant with all regulations and optimally functional before its release. 

Additionally, we're planning to launch the 1099 Correction workflow in mid-February in QBO. It's important that corrections are handled in the same manner as the original entries. Please verify that all contractor information and payments are correctly updated in QuickBooks beforehand. It's crucial to note that only IRS "Accepted" forms can be corrected, and all corrections need to be completed within the three-year IRS deadline from the original e-filing date.

For detailed instructions on how to adjust 1099 forms in QuickBooks, consider referencing the article: Correct or change 1099s in QuickBooks.

To print your 1099 forms directly from QuickBooks Online, you can also follow the guidelines provided in this article: Print 1099 forms.

It's starting to be late February.  I'm dumbfounded as to the delay and vagueness.  What's going on over there?

I agree.  What is going on guys??  We need to get this done before half of the IRS is fired!!  (kidding)

Please, would you be able to provide an update? A date would be appreciated. 

Please provide an update, as we are now in the end of February.

The launch of 1099 corrections for the filing year 2024 is anticipated to occur in mid-February. Although a specific date has not yet been determined, we will promptly update you with an alert with the exact date as soon as it becomes available. Allow me to provide further details below, @sbucket.

Customers will see an in-product banner in QuickBooks Online that states "Corrections will be available later in February," indicating that the corrections feature has not yet been launched. To stay informed, please monitor the Corrections Banner at the top of your Tax Center page. This banner will be updated or removed once corrections are available, notifying you precisely when you can begin making adjustments.

If you need assistance locating the corrections banner, please follow the steps shared by my colleague, @Dandie_A, in the previous reply within this thread.

Furthermore, it is essential to ensure that corrections are processed in the same way as the original entries. Before making any changes, please confirm that all contractor information and payments in QuickBooks are accurate and up to date. It's important to remember that only IRS "Accepted" forms are eligible for corrections. Additionally, all corrections must be finalized within the three-year IRS deadline counting from the original e-filing date. This adherence is crucial for maintaining compliance and accuracy in your financial records.

I’m at a loss. A Quickbooks rep just responded with a statement that corrections will be available mid February and it’s FEBRUARY 20th- PAST mid February. I’m starting to lose confidence in you, QB! Where is the QC? Urgency?!

I called for a second time about this yesterday after waiting since February 5th. I was told to wait and check today. This is actually so awful, they just put a vague "later in February" and now it IS later in February and they're just telling us to log in every day? How am I spending $40 a month on this????

Truly unacceptable. And yet we have zero recourse. I wish we paid $40/mo - we have $99 for this!

The option to correct is now available, but not if you would like to correct the recipient's name, which is what I needed to do. Quickbooks, answer for yourselves.

I'm going to have to correct you on this--a few days ago, for one day only, I had correction capabilities for my 1099-NEC employee, including his business name. I sent it to him to verify, but by the time he had approved the following day, the capabilities to correct anything at all were gone. So there did exist, in fact, the ability to correct these things in Quickbooks. I'm not sure why you're suddenly telling me I have to do this via the IRS. My accountant has told me that it is far more preferable to correct 1099s via the original submission method. I want to know when this feature will be back, if at all.

 @Anonymous changed their answer to me after I called them out for saying that the feature wasn't available and did not acknowledge that I was given misinformation. So to anyone else who might be following this thread and dealing with this issue, this is what they originally said to me:

Ensuring the accuracy of any forms is indeed essential for any filing process, @masona. I've got information here to correct your recipient's name.

There are information that QuickBooks doesn't support yet and that includes the name of the payer. You may consider sending a letter to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to correct the details. Before that, be sure to include the following information:

Name and address of the payer.  Type of error (including the incorrect payer name/TIN that was reported).  Tax year.  Payer TIN.  Transmitter Control Code (TCC).  Type of return.  Number of payees.  Filing method (paper or electronic).  Was federal income tax withheld?

Once ready, send your letter to the Internal Revenue Service 

Information Returns Branch 230 Murall Drive, Mail Stop 4360

Kearneysville, WV 25430.

This is getting ridiculous and confusing. Just be straightforward with your customers who are paying a LOT of money to use your services.

As of today full correction mode is not working any update?

I appreciate your participation in this thread, Bookkeeper7689. Allow me to discuss more details about the 1099 corrections and how QuickBooks notifies users once this feature is available.

Please know that there's no specific date for when the Correction option will be accessible on the platform. It's essential to note that the temporary unavailability of this feature is a way to ensure that the IRS can process 1099 corrections seamlessly after the initial filings. Moreover, you can only initiate and submit a correction for Accepted forms.

As my colleague has mentioned, you'll have to review the Corrections Banner on the Tax Center page frequently. Once the Correction button is available, the notification in the banner will be updated automatically.
 

I'm also attaching these resources you might find handy once you need to print your 1099 forms or gather more insights about the IRS' guidelines for 1099 filings:

The option to correct a 1099-NEC is available now however I get an error message that I cannot correct a name or TIN, all I need to do is correct the dollar amount.  You people are really dropping the ball over there.

Thanks for getting involved with this thread, businessessentialsinc.

Currently, QuickBooks Payroll only supports certain types of corrections. If you entered an invalid company name, EIN, SSN, or TIN, Intuit doesn't support corrected 1099 forms for company names or IDs.

To correct a 1099 in this scenario, you'll need to send a letter to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with the following information included:
 

• Name and address of the payer. 
• Type of error (including the incorrect payer name/TIN that was reported). 
  Tax year. 
• Payer TIN. 
• Transmitter Control Code (TCC). 
• Type of return. 
• Number of payees. 
• Filing method (paper or electronic). 
• Was federal income tax withheld?

Your letter will need to be sent to:

Internal Revenue Service 
Information Returns Branch
230 Murall Drive, Mail Stop 4360
Kearneysville, WV 25430

For more info, you can refer to their General Instructions for Certain Information Returns (2023) article.

Please feel welcome to send a reply if there's any questions. Have an awesome Monday!

I am not trying to change the name, address or TIN from the original 1099-NEC filed and accepted. I am only trying to change the amount that was reported incorrectly and only discovered after the Contractor received the 1099-NEC and notified us.
