Submitted using QBO everything went smoothly.  All 1099s Accepted.  But now I realize incorrect Social Security on one of the 1099s.   I've already corrected the number on Vendor in QBO but it will not let me resubmit.

I'm here to ensure you can submit your 1099 with the correct social security number in QuickBooks Online (QBO), bcrook. 

 

At this time, QuickBooks Online only allows you to file your 1099 once. However, any updates or corrections can be made in a printed copy and sent in by mail to the IRS.

 

Here's how to file the amended form:

 

  1. Order 1099-NEC IRS forms online at IRS Online Ordering for Information Returns and Employer Returns.
  2. Fill out the 1099-NEC form and be sure to select the Corrected checkbox.
  3. Once done, mail the form to the IRS.
  4. After that, mail the recipient copy to your contractor as soon as possible so that they can file their taxes.
