I need to change one of my contractors addresses for her 1099, how can I do that? She is an inactive contractor and the 1099 was already filed.

Hello there, fithanfoodie.

I'll ensure you can modify one of your contractors' addresses in QuickBooks Online for 1099 by following the instructions below.

If you wish to change the inactive contractor's address for accurate details purposes within the program and for future filing, you may need to update the information through the Expense page.

Here's how:

1. Go to Expenses from the left menu, then choose Vendors.
2. Choose the Active drop-down arrow and select Inactive.
3. Locate the contractor from there and open the profile.
4. Go to the Details section and click the pencil icon.
5. Update the address at the bottom part.
6. Click Save.

Then, if you want to reactivate the person in your QBO account, go to the Inactive drop-down arrow and change it to Active. This is the location directly under the contractor's name.

However, if you need to update the contractor's address because of the incorrect information was provided to the previously filed 1099, you won't be able to do so directly. You need to file an amendment to the said tax form to make corrections. You can refer to this article on how to perform the process: Correct or change 1099s in QuickBooks.

If you need to see other related information about 1099 and be updated with this form, you can read this article: Get answers to your 1099 questions.

You can always post here in the QuickBooks Community if you have other concerns about the contractor's info or inquiries about 1099. I'm always here to make sure that everything is taken care of, fithanfoodie.
