I have QB Desktop. I printed out my 1099 NEC and gave them to my subcontractors. One new Sub gave me the wrong SS# and filed his taxes using the wrong number on his 1099NEC. I need to correct it but my accountant is giving me instructions that don't match with my QB. He says I need to check off the Correction box and zero out the amount.  I can not understand how to do that.
