How can amend/correct my form 1099-Misc and 1096 that I printed and mailed?

Thanks for reaching out to the Community, @Entnadmin18.

I'd be happy to assist you in the process of correcting your 1099-MISC and 1096 Forms in QuickBooks Online.

All you have to do is make the corrections and send it by mail to the IRS. Here's how:

1. Go to the Expenses tab on the left-hand menu, then Vendors.
2. Click Prepare 1099s. Make sure all details are correct and select Print and mail.
3. Choose the 1096 form, then Yes, looks good!
4. Hit Print on a 1096 Form.
5. Once finished, 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.

How can amend/correct my form 1099-Misc and 1096 that I printed and emailed electronically

Let me share some information to help you prepare and reprint 1099-Misc and 1096 forms, Mark225.

You need to manually file the amendment to make corrections to the 1099 forms that were already reported. Use these IRS instructions to work with them for the correction.

Once corrected, you can print a new paper form to amend a 1099 and resubmit it outside QuickBooks.

Let me show you how:

1. Run the 1099 Detail report specific to the vendor you want to revise.
2. After making some corrections to their payments, go to Expenses menu at the left panel, then Vendors.
3. Click Prepare 1099s and Continue your 1099s.
4. Follow the steps and make the necessary corrections.
5. For 1096, click Prepare 1099s again, then select Print and mail.
6. Choose the 1096 form, then click Yes, looks good!
7. Select Print on a 1096 Form.
8. Once done, choose Print and mail, then follow the steps to print your forms.
9. Submit or mail it to the nearest Internal Revenue Service Center and provide copies to your vendors.
   
   

Also, you can order forms from our Marketplace. Here are the links you can visit:

•  2020 Pre-Printed 1096 Forms
• 2020 Pre-Printed 1099-NEC Kits

How can we amend filed 1099 to zero? 

You'll have to print the corrected 1099 copy and manually file it to the appropriate tax agency, @H2oivy. Let me guide you how.

Currently, there isn't an option to amend filed 1099s in QuickBooks Online. You'll have to manually file the amendment to make all the necessary corrections. You'll first have to purchase your 1099 kit, then prepare them by following the steps below:

1. Go to the Expenses menu.
2. Select Vendors.
3. Click Prepare 1099s and Continue your 1099s.
4. Make sure all details are correct and select Print and mail.
5. Choose the 1096 form, then Yes, looks good!.
6. Once done, choose Print and mail, then follow the steps to print your forms.

Once done, I'd recommend utilizing the IRS instructions to complete the process through this article: General Instructions for Certain Information Returns. After that, you need to provide the corrected return to the recipient or contractor yourself.

Also, here's an article that answers the most frequently asked questions about 1099s: What is a 1099 and do I need to file one?. It includes topics about 1099-NEC, 1099-MISC, and 1099-K.

Let me know how it goes in the comments below. If you have other Form 1099 concerns or inquiries about managing vendor transactions in QBO, I'm just around to help. Take care always.

I need to make a correction to the name and tax id on a 1099, and I want to make sure I am doing this correctly. I am using QuickBooks Desktop Pro 2021. Are the steps the same on the desktop version? Since I am making this correction, will I need to resend in the 1096, since it is only the name and tax id and not the amount? 

Thank you for any help. 

Good afternoon, @Summer56. 

Thanks for chiming in on this thread. I hope your day is going well so far. 

You won't do the steps my colleague provided since they are for QuickBooks Online users only. However, you can correct your 1099 in Tax1099. Here's an article that can help you out: 1099/Tax/1099 corrections-Different types of 1099 corrections after forms have been submitted.

Also, I recommend asking the IRS to be sure of the 1096 form question. 

Feel free to come back if you have any other questions or concerns. We're always here to lend a helping hand. Have a wonderful Friday and weekend ahead!

I have to amend one of the 1099 forms filed to correct it to zero. I read what you wrote that I need to go to the 1099 detail report specific to the vendor. Where can I find this report?
