Why can't I produce a corrected 1099? I corrected address & deleted a name. Corrections show on Summary, but not on 1099 & system won't allow me to file correction.

Hello there, greenjeansfarmer.

I can guide you on how to file a corrected 1099 in QuickBooks.

If you filed your 1099s through QuickBooks, you could still be able to correct them. But first, you need to confirm if the IRS has accepted your 1099 filings.

To check:

1. Go to the 1099 filings tab
   a. if you have QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Online Payroll: Go to Taxes, then 1099 filings.
   b. if you have QuickBooks Contractor Payments only: Go to 1099 filings.
2. In the Status column, look for Accepted.

Once you confirm the status, you can now e-file your correction. Here's how:

1. Go back to the 1099 filings tab
   a. For QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Online Payroll: Go to Taxes, then 1099 filings.
   b. For QuickBooks Contractor Payments only: Go to 1099 filings.
2. Select Correct next to the form you want to fix. Your business info must be the same as the original file accepted by the IRS. If you’ve made any changes since you filed, undo them.
3. The accounts and boxes you previously chose will appear. These are the accounts that represent the payments or expenses you paid to your contractors, and the corresponding 1099 box. if you need to delete an account hit Remove next to the row. if you need to add or change an account click on Select accounts.
4. If you want to change the 1099 box, click on the dropdown ▼ next to the account and select the 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC box that represents the type of payments made to your contractors.
5. Hit Next. If you make any changes to your accounts or 1099 boxes, you’ll get a message that other 1099 forms may also be affected. Check your other contractors' 1099 forms and fix them if needed. Select Got it to continue.
6. Verify the Corrected total is what you expect. if the contractor payment total is now below the 1099 threshold, and they ‌no longer need a 1099, the Corrected total will be $0.00.
7. Check your contractors' personal info and email addresses. click on Edit ✎ to make any changes. Then, Next.
8. Select Preview to view each corrected 1099.  Select the E-file corrected form twice.
9. You'll need to repeat these steps for each 1099 form you want to correct.

Also, we will not email or mail corrected 1099 forms to contractors. You'll need to personally deliver a copy to the contractor. I've added this article for more details and frequently asked questions: Correct or change 1099s in QuickBooks.
