How do I adjust 1099s already submitted for 2019?

Hello there, dallen1.

 

Regardless if you e-file your 1099 form through QuickBooks or mail it directly to the agency, you need to print and file a manual amendment directly to the IRS.

 

First, let's pull up the 1099 Transaction Detail report so you'll have a reference when filling out the amended form.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Reports menu.
  2. Select Vendors & Payables, then choose 1099 Detail.
  3. Choose the Customize Report button.
  4. Select the Filters tab.
  5. In the Search Filters field, type in "Vendor".
  6. Select Preferred Vendor.
  7. Choose the name of the vendor under the Preferred Vendor drop-down arrow.
  8. Click OK

I've attached screenshots below for your visual reference.

Once done, let me guide you on the things you need to do so you'll successfully correct your 1099 forms.

 

  1. Have the 1099 paper form ready.
  2. Fill it out with the right information.
  3. Make sure to check the Corrected checkbox.
  4. Mail the corrected form to the IRS and your contractors.

 

To know more about 1099s, you can check out this article: General Instructions for Certain Information Returns. Visit page 11 on this pdf copy to help you identify the correction needed based on the error type. 

 

In case you don't have the 1099 paper forms, you can order from us. Refer to this link to know how: QuickBooks Checks & Supplies.

 

Please let me know if you have other concerns. I'm just around to help.

How do I adjust 1099s already submitted for 2019?

I went to Pg. 11 of the IRS instructions.  As I've highlighted in the attached JPG, these instructions are if the Payee's TIN was listed incorrectly.  It was not listed incorrectly.

One of my Vendors didn't provide me an accurate W-9 at the beginning of the year. So, that means the 1099-MISC I gave them was incorrect.  They have now provided me with their correct TIN#.

Do I just make a CORRECTED 1099-MISC for this one vendor, submitting it to the Vendor and IRS?

Do I need to file a corrected 1096 as well?

Yes, you'll need to correct the 1099-MISC and the 1096 as well, dallen1.

 

To correct the TIN of your vendor, you can refer to this article: General Instructions for Certain Information Returns. In section F (Electronic Reporting). From there, you'll get the detailed steps on how to correct their vendor. 

 

Please get back here if you have other questions about 1099. Thanks!

Thank you for the reply, however, Section F only talks about if you reported the Payer's TIN (meaning my company) incorrectly.  Where can I find instructions on what to do if one of my Vendor's TIN (meaning recipient) is incorrect?
