How to change 1099 -dollar amount to zero

Thanks for joining us here, laura.

You need to confirm first that IRS accepted your 1099 because you cannot correct rejected forms. You can see this by going to 1099's filings tab, then look for Accepted in the Status column. 

If the status is already accepted, you may now correct the form. 

Here's how: (In 1099 filings tab)

1. Select Correct next to the form you want to fix.
2. The accounts and boxes you previously chose will appear. These are the accounts that represent the QuickBooks Payments or expenses you paid to your contractors, and the corresponding 1099 box.
3. If you want to change the 1099 box, select the dropdown ▼ next to the account and select the 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC box that represents the type of QuickBooks Payments made to your contractors.
4. Select Next.
5. Confirm if the Corrected total reflects the accurate payment amount.
6. Check your contractors' personal info and email addresses.
7. Select Preview to view the corrected 1099.
8. Select Next.
