Question

I need to update two 1099 NECs to reflect $0, since the earnings were corrected recorded on K-1's. I submitted the 1099's in Quickbooks, but it won't let me edit them!

When I try, it says an error occurred. I don't know what's going on, but I don't want anyone to get audited for not reporting 1099s that were submitted to the IRS in error.

Unfortunately, the 1099’s were already accepted by the IRS, which is why I can no longer void them. I need to submit $0 statement corrections in order to fix my error.

@KRISTA-M-BABER  I'm curious how this came about; not often you see 1099-NECs get tangled up with K-1 matters.

Unfortunately that was my mistake. I’m new to managing an LLC/partnership and I incorrectly believed my partner and I needed our income recorded on 1099 NECs. Our LegalZoom rep corrected me and issued us K-1’s, but said I would need to submit 1099’s with a $0 income reported to correct my initial error.
