How do I stop a 1099 from being E filed - I just caught a mistake and need to correct the address and person the details were sent to.

Hi there, Anton. I'm here to ensure you can correct your e-filed 1099 information.

Once an e-filed 1099 has been submitted, it cannot be undone. It's accomplished to ensure the filing process's integrity and maintain accuracy and consistency in the records. 

Let's begin by verifying the current status of your e-filed 1099 to check if you can still revise it. 

1. Hover to Taxes, then 1099 filings.
2. View the status of the e-filing under Filing status. Below is the list of statuses and what they mean:

• Not Submitted: You haven't e-filed Form 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC with the IRS. You can continue revising it.
• Submitted: You have e-filed the form to the IRS. Note: If you need to revise it, you may need to file a manual amendment. Use these IRS instructions and forms to do so.
• Received by IRS: The IRS has received your form and is either processing it or has already processed and approved it. Customers who have submitted their 1099 E-File forms will receive a confirmation email approximately a week after the IRS accepts and confirms submissions. You may not receive this confirmation until the middle of January or later.

If your 1099 form is rejected, you can void it and file the form again. 

If you're using QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Online Payroll, let's first see the 1099s that were rejected. 

1. Go to Taxes, then 1099 filings.
2. Look for the alert ‌on the page. It'll indicate why the IRS rejected your 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC filings.

If you're using QuickBooks Contractor Payments only: 

1. Go to 1099 filings.
2. Look for the alert ‌on the page. It'll indicate why the IRS rejected your 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC filings.

Then, we can void the 1099 forms from the 1099 filings tab and select Void forms. 

Now, we need to review your company and vendors information: 

1. Hover to the Contractors tab, select Prepare 1099. Review your company's legal name and tax identification number.
2. Select  the  Edit icon to see more info or to make a correction.
3. Go back to the Contractors tab, select your contractor's name and review their address and tax identification number. 

Lastly, let's e-file your 1099 forms again. If you already paid for your 1099 e-filings, you won't be charged again when you resubmit.

If you're using QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Online Payroll: 

1. Hover to the Payroll, and select Contractors. 
2. Select Prepare 1099s.
3. Follow the steps to create and e-file your 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC. Be sure to review and update your company's legal and contractor info, including their legal name, tax identification numbers, and addresses, if needed.

On the other hand, if the status shows as accepted or submitted, you'll need to file an amended form in QuickBooks. However, there are no official instructions yet.  

If you want to amend right now, work directly with the IRS and obtain a printed copy, manually fill out the amended form, and mail it to them.
