How do I correct a 1099 that has already been accepted by the IRS through Quickbooks?

Very disappointed to find that QB will not allow us to print out a corrected 1099. This should have been disclosed when signing up for the service. I do not need you to file it for me - although you should - but I do need a way to re-print the form and take care of the rest myself. Seems like we are paying for a service that is not fully given to us.

I also think there should be a way to reprint so we can mail in the corrected 1099.

Quickbooks filed 3 of my contractors 1099s as empty. When chatting with live support they said it was my problem. How can Quickbooks make a mistake, then say oh well your problem and charge you for it?

Trash explanation for a trash experience.

This is the most pathetic response I've ever seen, and I've seen some pretty bad ones from Intuit.  

You made lives hell by "fixing" the 1099 process so that we all had to re do the mapping and go through a new process.  And, now, you can't figure out how to issue corrected 1099s?  Seriously???  That is just table stakes for the business that you are in.

Intuit does not deserve the customers you have.

Yep, I need to make a correction on one of my 1099's for a contractor and its been a nightmare to figure out another way to do this - QB should really figure out how to remedy this feature.  

This is absolutely ridiculous that we cannot correct 1099's through the platform we create them!  I also need to correct a 1099 and I am shocked that QB fails to help in this situation.  I just need to re-print the forms so that I can submit them. 

This is so frustrating that I cannot correct 1099's through the program I used to submit them!! Does any one know if we e-filed through Quickbooks can we make a correction through the e-filing system on IRS,gov? or is this a paper correction. I am in the process of waiting for my TCC number to enroll in e-filing with IRS.gov wasn;t sure if this was a waste of my time and if I just needed to correct by paper.  Also  can someone tell me if I have to also correct the 1096 by paper as well? 

They revamped the system this year…and it does allow corrections now (because…DUH…it always should have).  But it’s still not great.  They haven’t addressed state filings for example (because DUH this needs to be available too…really???). But you can make a correction this year at least.  Hector and Alicia’s podcast have covered the new 1099 tool extensively so you should check that out. It’s called the Unofficial Quickbooks Accountant’s podcast or something along those lines.  

Still pretty pathetic that it takes other users to shed light on the product rather than Intuit providing clear communication.

Thank you so very much! So the podcast will give me directions to make the correction?  I appreciate the quick response as well so very much. 

Hello, @dialsconstructionllc.

I completely understand how critical it is to ensure that your e-filed tax return and forms are corrected in accordance with your IRS e-filing status. It can be a challenging situation, but please know that I'm here to help and support you every step of the way.

If you e-filed through QuickBooks and need to correct it, you would typically use the QuickBooks system to file an amended return or correction. However, since you are waiting for your TCC number to enroll in e-filing with IRS.gov, it's important to wait before making any corrections. Once you have your TCC number and are enrolled to e-file with the IRS, you should follow their guidelines for making corrections electronically.

As for the 1096 form, the correction process would depend on the nature of the correction. If a correction needs to be made to the 1096 form, you should follow the instructions provided by the IRS for corrections to that specific form. It's best to consult the IRS or a tax professional for guidance on proceeding with the correction process.

Please keep in mind that it's essential to wait for your TCC number and enrollment in e-filing with the IRS before proceeding with any corrections to ensure that they are processed correctly.

I'll include this article that helps you identify whether all your financial transactions are balanced and prepare your business for the coming year: Year-end guide for QuickBooks Online.

If you have further questions, we are always here to help you find the perfect solution. 

What if I haven't requested a TCC yet? What does that process look like? I have one contractor who I entered the wrong TIN by mistake.

Warm welcome, @SHC Keeper. I'm here to provide information regarding the correction of the 1099 forms. 

Since you haven't requested a TCC, you can contact the IRS to know what process you'll need to do.

On the other hand, if you e-file 1099 NEC or 1099-MISC with QuickBooks, beginning in 2024, you can submit amended 1099 forms through QuickBooks Online. However, there are no official instructions yet.

Additionally, you can review the year-end checklist for essential tasks such as distributing employee bonuses, preparing W-2 and 1099 forms, and reviewing year-to-date totals for each employee.

You can return here whenever you need information and my assistance correcting the 1099 forms. I'm always here for you. 

When you say "beginning in 2024" do you mean we will be able to amend 2023 1099s soon, or we will begin being able to amend them with 2024 1099s (next year)?

Hi there, @bookkeeper001.

I'd like to share some insights about amending your 1099s in QuickBooks.

QuickBooks will soon provide the option to make corrections, also called amendments, to your 1099s. This means you will be able to correct any errors and e-file the corrected 2023 1099s through the 1099 filings page. The instructions on how to do this will be available in the following article: Correct or change 1099s in QuickBooks.

For future use, you may access your previous tax payments and forms by following this comprehensive guide: View your previously filed tax forms and payments. 

Please feel free to reach out to me here for any assistance you may require with correcting 1099s. I am always delighted to lend a hand. Take care and stay safe.

Quickbooks has put its customers in a difficult position by not having the option to correct 1099s available yet. The IRS requires all corrections to be filed electronically if the original was filed electronically. No other service can correct 1099s unless they created the 1099 themselves. Quickbooks needs to correct this ASAP as it is putting its customers out of compliance!!!!!  

I have been trying to change a 1099 through QB, I can walk through the steps but it wont let me save. I opened up a case and was told it was being worked on. When will this be fixed?
