How do I locate a 1099-NEC form that was initially filed but has since been corrected? I need the original 1099-NEC to accurately respond to a IRS Letter 63C.

Where can I find the original non-corrected 1099-NEC? Background info: We acquired the assets of another company as of January 1, 2024. We retained two of their former employees temporarily under a contractor arrangement to help in the transition. The employees received a W-2 for 2024, which reflected some wages paid to them by the old company in 2024. At the same time, the former company employees, now our contractors, were onboarded and filled out W-9 forms. There was clear communication to them that they were contractors and helping in the transition. One of our former contractors expected a W-2 from our company. We explained that they had submitted a W-9 to our company, but there was no such employment relationship with us. They reported to the IRS that they did not receive a W-2, and the IRS generated Letter 63C, requesting that we explain the situation to the taxpayer (contractor) and asking us to check a box on the letter and mail it to the address listed on the letter. When investigating the contractor's complaint, unrelated to the IRS Letter 63C, several transactions that increased his compensation were not recorded correctly. The increase found prompted us to file a Corrected 1099-NEC. However, now that I need to explain this situation and write to the contractor in one letter and the IRS in another, I am unable to find the originally filed 1099-NEC in QuickBooks or Intuit. I specifically need the amount that was reported, not the actual copy.
