How do I revise a 1099 Misc form I already filed for a vendor?

It's nice to see you here in the Community, @mbotte.

I'm here to share some information about the 1099-Misc form in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Currently, QBO doesn't have an option to revise the 1099-Misc form once it was filed. However, you can print a new paper form to amend it.

Here's how:

1. Go to Expenses menu at the left panel, then Vendors.
2. Click Prepare 1099s and Continue your 1099s.
3. Follow the steps and make the necessary corrections.
4. Once done, choose Print and mail, then follow the steps to print your forms.

For your reference, you can also check out these articles for further guidance:

• Common questions about 1099s.
• Can I make corrections to my 1099 after I e-file?
• Prepare and file 1099s.

That's it! Please let me know how it goes or if you have any follow-up questions in the comment section. I'll be here should you need further assistance. Take care and have a good one.

I also need to revise someone's 1099, but just one of a dozen.  Does the 1099 prep process allow me to reprint just one form?  I only have one sheet of 2 forms remaining and I'd like to hone in on just the one I need to revise.  Thanks for any assistance you can offer!

Thank you for joining this thread, @anders.

Let me share some information to help you prepare and reprint your vendor's 1099 forms. Let's get started!

To start with, in filling amended 1099 forms, what you can do is to manually file the amendment to make corrections to the 1099 forms that were already reported.

Here's how to correct your 1099 forms:

1. Run the 1099 Detail report specific to the vendor you want to revise.
2. Submit correct form as soon as possible.
   1. Order 1099-MISC IRS FORM.
   2. Furnish a printed copy of your 1099 form Copy A with your Form 1096.
   3. Submit or mail it to the nearest Internal Revenue Service Center.
3. Send updated copies to your vendors.

If you need further help with the steps above, I’d recommend reaching out to our Customer Care Team. An agent will be able to access your account in a secured environment and further assist you via remote access.

Here's how to contact us:

1. Visit: https://help.quickbooks.intuit.com/en_US/contact.
2. Choose your QuickBooks Product.
3. Select your QuickBooks Version.
4. On the Contact Us page, click a topic.
5. Click on the Get Phone Number button to see the support number.

Stay in touch and let me know how it works on your end. I’m always here to lend a hand in preparing your amended 1099 forms. Have a great ahead!

Thank you! I found that I could select for just the one vendor once I advanced through the 1099 process.  I should have pressed forward before sending up the flare for help!

I have 10 vendors that need to be fixed. So the IRS won't let you print or download the IRS 1099 red form- which is required to amend the wrong 1099's, correct?

what is the Form 1096 for exactly?

The Form 1096 is the summary of all 1099 forms you are submitting, kinetopictures676.

QuickBooks Online Payroll will automatically generate and file the 1096 for you if you'll submit your 1099s electronically. Check this guide about preparing and filing Federal 1099s within QuickBooks Online. You can also print it within QuickBooks:

1. Go to Expenses tab and select Vendors.
2. Click Prepare 1099s. Make sure all details are correct and select Print and mail.
3. Choose the 1096 form. Then, select Yes, looks good!
4. Select Print on a 1096 Form.

Though, we're unable to process an amended 1099, you can still correct it. Here's an article to know more how to correct errors on Forms 1099. Also, I'd suggest contacting our Customer Support Team if you have any corrections on your 1099. They'll be able to assist you with it to make sure everything is correct. Simply go to Help and select Contact us.

You can read this article about 1099-MISC dates and deadlines. If you have more questions about this form, you can refer to this article: Common questions about 1099s.

Please let us know if you have need further assistance with this. I'll be right here to help you.

Does QBO supply the form 1096 in a printed form?

Yes, we supply pre-printed 1096 forms, ADDITUP.

You can visit the Checks and Supplies website to purchase the form online. Just click this link: https://intuitmarket.intuit.com/tax-forms/1096-forms. Their phone number is written below Add to cart on the right side.

When you print 1096 forms in QuickBooks, you can refer to the detailed steps in this article: Print a 1096 form.

By the way, if you've e-filed your 1099 forms within QuickBooks, you won't need to file for 1096.

Let us know if you have other questions about the 1096 form.

Thanks - I think I should be more specfic in my question.  I have a corrected 1099 I need to issue.  If I do this on QBO can I print the 1096/1099 and not file them electronically so I can mark  it corrected?

Yes, you can file it yourself, ADDITUP. I'll provide you with the steps.

Here's how:

1. Click Expenses, then go to the Vendors tab.
2. Click Prepare 1099s, then select Continue your 1099s.
3. Review the company information, then click Next.
4. Ensure the payments are categorized correctly, then click Next.
5. Review the contractors' info, then click Next.
6. Check the payments, then click Finish preparing 1099s.
7. Click I'll file for myself. 
8. Select the form type, then click Yes, looks good!.
9. Select 1099 or 1096 or Summary, then click Next.

Once done printing the forms, manually tick the Corrected box. 

There's no deadline to file the corrected 1099-MISC. Although, it must be filed as soon as the error was discovered.

If you need more help, please get back to this thread. We're just here to assist you. 

I hand-write amendments, because it's too much trouble un-checking all the people you will need to issue 1099's to for next year.

Just one of the many flaws of QBO.

--But the real reason I won't recommend it to clients is because there's no way to back up your file for your work-papers.  Printing the GL, and trying to export payroll reports is a royal pain. So I've started describing QBO as "predatory". They are so desperate to not let you leave or convert to desktop, they put your accountant in a very awkward situation with work-papers (items including payroll reports by employee probably should be backed up for ethical reasons).

I have to send one corrected 1099 Misc. I figured out how to just have this vendor's box checked for the 1099, but how do I send just this one corrected copy for the Form 1096? QBO keeps including all 8 vendors for the 1096 and I only want to include the one vendor I am correcting.

Hey, @palicet0103. 

Thanks for joining in on this thread. Let's work together and get this problem handled. 

Have you unchecked the unneeded vendors from Steps 3 (Contractors) in the prepare 1099 feature? If you haven't, here's how you can: 

1. Go to the Expenses tab. 
2. Select the Vendors section. 
3. Click the Prepare 1099's option. 
4. Once you get to Step 3, uncheck the contractors you don't want. 

Learn more about preparing and filing 1099s to help your business in the future. 

This should do the trick. If you're still having issues, please don't hesitate to contact me. I want to make sure that you're able to get this resolved as soon as possible. Bye for now!

Yes, I've unchecked the contractors I don't need which works for the 1099, but then I go to print the 1096 and all 8 vendors are included.

This response is not helpful, because then you have to memorize which Vendors should be checked for next year, then re-check them. There should be an option for revising one 1099-Misc without having to undo all the hard work you've done all year to determine who is a 1099-Misc vendor and who is exempt.

Your plan might work for those with 2 or 3 Vendors, but in the real world there are hundreds.

Hi there, palicet0103.

If you have any other questions, feel free to post here anytime. Thank you and have a nice afternoon. 

If you've ever called support you know you will spend several hours getting transferred around, then sit on the phone with someone who troubleshoots from the perspective of "is the computer on?" and then determines it is fixed, when it is not. They might perhaps say a manager will call you back, but when you call them back they've closed the ticket and you get to start over.

I would never subject a client or coworker I didn't hate to what you call "customer service".

Also, it is a flaw in your programming that there isn't a way to do 1099-misc corrections. Every other 1099 software on the planet does.

I do have to agree on this point with shortib - every other online 1099 software, whether integrated with or without an accounting software package, offers a way to file 1099 corrections if you e-filed the original return through them.
