Correcting 1099NEC for 2024 Filing

@MBodyTherapy  As far as actually correcting them, well. There are definitely ways to do it through government websites, but after the implementation of IRIS, I'm not sure there are any you'd get approved for within a reasonable amount of time.

There are some websites that can electronically transmit various forms for you (1099s, W2-Gs, etc), but I can't recommend any particular one myself.

All that being said: Which part of their name is misspelled?

If it is the first name, it won't actually matter; the IRS verifies identities using the last name and the tax ID, not the first name.

I appreciate your patience and know the urgency of getting your 1099 NEC form corrected @MBodyTherapy.

The feature to correct the Recipient Name or EIN will be available very soon. It's best not to mail changes to the IRS because you can only make corrections on the platform where you first submitted the forms. If you want your contractors to have a copy then mailing is fine.

For now, I suggest reaching out to our Live support team to get email updates on this feature. I'll guide you below on how to reach them:

1. Open your QuickBooks.
2. On the upper right corner, click the Help icon.
3. Choose Search and type Contact Us.
4. Below select Contact Us.
5. Choose the preferred contact method.

Also, keep this article for the future. It's a great guide on IRS regulations for filing 1099 forms and shows you how to file or correct them in QuickBooks: Understand the IRS regulations for filing 1099s and W-2s.

Thank you for the feedback. I have been telling the contract workers that as long as the last name and SS# match it will be fine.  But they keep asking...

It is simply a confusion on 1st name spelling. Asian contractors. Entered into QB as 1st/Middle/Last, when really their names are 1st and last only.  Corrected in QB, but after 1099's were filed.

I had already used the "HELP" feature numerous times prior to coming to the Community page to find further assistance.  The original responses were "just wait please".  Once the "Correct" feature was released but then not being able to fix the name, I waited another week. Reached out yesterday again before coming here.  I received a call back and after much review and them checking on system, the response was to simply mail the changes into the IRS as there was no date given on expected release of ability to do Electronically.  Help desk emailed me the information on what is needed to mail in the change.  🤷

Issue is 1st name spelling. Asian contractors.  Entered into system with 1st/Middle/Last name and 1099's only brought over 1st/Last.  But Middle is actually part of the 1st name.  Fixed in system, but not until after the 1099's were submitted. 

After numerous calls to the Help Desk they said to just mail in the corrected 1099's as they had no date when to expect the function to work on-line.
