If the address in a 1099 doesn't exist, it was entered wrong. Does the mail return to sender, ie, to QuickBooks? Thank you.

Hi there, @Lorena11_2. 

I'll share some information about your concern with 1099 with an incorrect address and will the mail be returned to the sender in QuickBooks Online.

If the address on the 1099 form is incorrect or if it was entered incorrectly, the mail will not be returned to the sender. In addition, if your 1099 status says rejected, the IRS will usually not mail it. If you used QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Contractor Payments, or QuickBooks Online Payroll to create and e-file your 1099s, you may receive an email notifying you that the IRS has not accepted your e-filing.

There are two possible explanations for this issue: either your company's legal name, Employer Identification Number (EIN), or Social Security number (SSN) doesn't match IRS records or one or more of your contractors has an incorrect address.

To resolve this rejection and resubmit your 1099s, you must void your 1099s, update the incorrect info, and then e-file again.

To fix and resubmit 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC forms rejected by the IRS in QuickBooks Online, you can article check this article: Fix rejected 1099 forms.

Furthermore, you can check the article, and correct or change 1099s in QuickBooks to know how to make corrections to 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC forms after you e-filed them.
