How to amend a 1099

Hello there, jdremodelingpros.

QuickBooks Online only allows you to file your 1099 once. For updates or corrections, you can do it in a printed copy and manually sending it by mail to the IRS. You can file the amended form by following the steps below:

1. Order 1099-NEC IRS forms online at IRS Online Ordering for Information Returns and Employer Returns.
2. Fill out the 1099-NEC form and make sure to enter the correct Social Security Number.
3. Tick the Corrected box.
4. Once done, mail the form to the IRS.

can intuit online send an amended 1099 electronically, or does form 1096 has to be sent with 1099-misc 2019 and 1099-NEC 2020..

Good day, @guaymas.

I'm here to provide some insights regarding the 1096 form and to guide you on how you can send a 1099 amendment.

QuickBooks Online allows you to file your 1099's electronically. However, amendments need to be done manually. You can print a copy and mail it to the IRS.

Here's how to file the amended form:

1. Order 1099-NEC 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-NEC form and be sure to select the Corrected checkbox.
3. Once done, mail the form to the IRS.
4. After that, mail the recipient copy to your contractor as soon as possible so that they can file their taxes.

Please refer to the IRS general Instructions for Certain Information Returns for the information that you'll need to prepare. Additionally, you can visit this link for more details about this process: How to correct or change 1099s in QuickBooks.

On the other hand, I'd like to let you know that based to the IRS's most recent publication on Form 1096, those that file their 1099-MISC forms electronically (such as with Intuit's E-file service) do not need to submit a 1096.

For your reference, you can also check out this article for more information: E-file through the 1099 E-File Service.

Hello,

I e-filed several 1099- NEC and the amount paid did not show up in the right box. I would like to amend it and refile it. How can I get this done?

Thank you.

Good day, @leat998. I can share some details on how you can correct your 1099 form.

You can only file your 1099 once with QuickBooks Online. To make a manual adjustment to your 1099 forms, you'll need to approach the IRS directly. You will need to provide the corrected return to the receiver or contractor yourself once it has been updated

You can refer to this article for the detailed steps and more information about the general Instructions for Certain Information Returns.

Hello! 

I filed a batch of multiple 1099NEC through Quickbooks online.

Now one of the vendors informed me that they had provided a wrong EIN. In this case, I need to file corrected 1099NEC for this vendor only, instead of filing the whole batch again, correct? Also do I need to file a 1096 to accompany this single 1099NEC? 

Thanks a lot! 

Good morning, @Hindsight. 

I appreciate you chiming in to be sure about your questions with amending a 1099-NEC. I can share some insight to help you out. 

Yes, you'll need to file the correct 1099-NEC for the one vendor only. However, when amending, manually going through the IRS is the only way for this to be done. 

On the other hand, you won't have to submit a 1096. This is because you filed your 1099s electronically. 

Here's a few guides that can help you further if need be: 

• 1096
• General information on returns

I'm only a post away if you have any other questions or concerns. Wishing you and your business continued success! 

Candice, 

Thanks for your help! 

I'd like to confirm one last thing though: You mentioned I didn't need to submit 1096 because the 1099s were filed electronically. Even though this amended 1099 will be mailed to IRS in paper format, I still don't have to submit a 1096 together with it. Is my understanding correct? 

Please confirm.  

Thanks a lot! 

Hello there, @Hindsight. Allow me to share some insights about amending 1099.

I have what you're seeking in terms of clarification. Those that file their 1099-MISC forms electronically (such as using Intuit's E-file service) do not need to submit a Form 1096, according to the IRS's most recent publication on the subject.
