Question

I'm filing a corrected 1099-NEC after e-filing. The IRS sent me paper forms. Does QB have a template I can use to print onto these forms? If not, can you recommend how?

I'm looking for a template in word or excel that will enable me to enter the information for the corrected 1099-NEC and print directly onto the IRS paper forms so everything lines up properly. Does Quickbooks have such a template. If not, can you recommend somewhere else where I can do this? I am only trying to file one corrected 1099. Thanks!

I'm here to share information about the corrected 1099, @marc34.

 

Currently, we don't have a template that you can use for the corrected 1099-NEC. 

 

You can run a report to see the updated information of the corrected 1099-NEC instead.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Reports.
  2. Locate and select the 1099 Transaction Detail Report.
  3. Choose the desired details to show in the report.
  4. Click Run report.

 

You can also reach IRS if you have questions about the corrected form. Then check this article to learn more about 1099 correction: Correct or change 1099s in QuickBooks.

 

For more information about form 1099-NEC, read this helpful website from the IRS: https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-1099-nec.

 

If there's anything else you need help with concerning the 1099, let me know. I'll be around to assist. Have a wonderful day ahead.

Hi Ethel,

 

Sorry, I'm confused! You said below "You can run a report to see the updated information of the corrected 1099-NEC instead." Do you mean that this will line up the information instead of a template? When I ran a report as you outlined, it does not line up the information in a way that it can be printed directly onto the IRS form. It just shows a transaction report like any other transaction report in QB. I already have the information. I just need to be able to print it onto the IRS form.

 

I was told on another thread that I cannot correct an e-filed 1099 electronically. I was told I can only do so by ordering the forms from the IRS, printing with the updated information and mailing to the IRS. But how do I do this? I need to be able to line up the information so that it prints correctly on the form. If Quickbooks doesn't provide a template, can you refer me to a resource that will allow me to put the information into word or excel so that it will line up correctly on the form?

Hi ChristieAnn,

 

Thanks for your message. Is this response directed to me as my name isn't diah! As I indicated in another message, I contacted the IRS and they explained that I do not need to file a corrected 1099-NEC if there is only a change in the recipient's address. QB is not providing accurate information in this regard so I'd much appreciate of you could share with other agents.

 

Thank you,

Marc

The IRS website has a fillable 1099 form for both the NEC and the MISC forms.  Just go to the IRS.gov website and enter the corrected information on the 1099 form there and then print the new 1099.  I'm not sure how they want you to submit it though.  That's what I did for the one 1099-MISC form that I had to do.  Then I submitted it electronically through the IRIS file system along with the 1099-NEC forms that I had to submit. Everything printed perfectly on the website form.   Hope this helps.

Thanks, I called the IRS last year and they told me that I don't need to submit an amended 1099-NEC if it is only an address change. I'm not sure how it works with the fillable 1099 forms, but thankfully it wasn't necessary.
