Hello there, Conzo427. If you're unable to correct or change the e-filed 1099 form in QuickBooks Online (QBO), let's verify if your browser is causing the issue. I'll guide you through the basic troubleshooting steps.

 

First, open your account in an incognito or private window for testing. I will provide the keyboard shortcut below:

 

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Safari: Command + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P

 

If you encounter the same issue after using the Incognito window, please clear your cache to remove unnecessary data, then refresh your tab. Next, try logging into your account to your main browser. If the error persists, consider switching to an alternative supported browser for QuickBooks Online.

 

I also encourage you to reach out to our Live Support team for professional help. They can thoroughly diagnose your issue and provide screen-sharing sessions by using glance to assist you in navigating QuickBooks effectively.

 

Moreover, if you want to access previously filed 1099 forms, please check this article as your guide: Can I access archived or previously filed 1099 forms?

I'm experiencing the same issue. I followed all the browser recommendations, but I still get the following error:

"Correcting the recipient name or TIN is currently unavailable. We are actively working to enable this feature."

You've invested significant time following the troubleshooting steps, and I appreciate your efforts, Kayvan. I am pleased to share some information about the error you've received.

 

The option to update Recipient Name/TIN will be available soon. You'll need to wait until this feature is enabled. Corrections can only be submitted via the platform where the 1099 forms were initially filed.

 

At the moment, there isn't a specific timeframe for when this option will be available. You'll receive an email or in-app notification as soon as it's available.

 

In addition, I've included these articles to help you learn how to download your filed tax forms:

Here we are March 3rd and we still cannot make corrections to form 1099-NEC. This is ridiculous, especially for the amount that is charged annually to us QBO.

My admin is experiencing the same error message when trying to correct and reissue my 1099. She is told by QB the change is coming any day now. This is getting to be ridiculous. The deadline to file is less than a month away and I still do not have my corrected 1099. Can anyone walk her through how to get this completed or give an exact day the problem will be fixed?
