It's great that you're taking the initiative to correct a 1099 in QuickBooks Online! Accuracy is key when it comes to tax forms. Here's a breakdown of how to fix it:
1. Identify the Error:
- Verify the Information: Double-check with the contractor to confirm the correct information (name, address, SSN/EIN, payment amounts).
- Locate the Incorrect 1099: Find the 1099 with the error in QuickBooks Online.
2. Correct the Information in QuickBooks Online:
- Go to 1099 Filings:
- QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Online Payroll: Go to Taxes, then 1099 filings.
- QuickBooks Contractor Payments only: Go to 1099 filings.
- Find the 1099: Locate the 1099 with the error.
- Click "Correct" next to the form you need to fix.
- Important: Your business information must be the same as on the original accepted filing. If you've made changes since, revert them temporarily.
- Review and Edit:
- The accounts and boxes you previously selected will appear. These represent the payments to your contractors and the corresponding 1099 box.
- To delete an account, select Remove next to the row.
- To add or change an account, select Select accounts.
- To change the 1099 box, select the dropdown next to the account and choose the correct box (1099-NEC or 1099-MISC).
- Verify the Corrected Total: Ensure the corrected total is accurate. If the contractor payment total is now below the 1099 threshold, the corrected total will be $0.00.
- Review Contractor Information: Check the contractor's personal information and email address. Select Edit to make any changes.
- Preview and E-file:
- Select Preview to view each corrected 1099.
- Select E-file corrected form twice to submit the correction.
Important Notes:
- IRS Acceptance: The IRS must accept the original 1099 before you can submit a correction.
- E-filing: If you e-filed the original form, you must e-file the corrected form as well.
- Contractor Copy: QuickBooks Online won't automatically send a copy of the corrected 1099 to your contractor. You'll need to provide them with a copy yourself.
- Deadlines: Be aware of deadlines for filing corrected 1099s.
- IRS Instructions: Refer to the IRS instructions for Forms 1099 and 1096 for detailed information on correcting 1099s.
- QuickBooks Support: If you have any questions or need assistance, don't hesitate to contact QuickBooks support.
Key Considerations:
- Types of Corrections: QuickBooks Online supports corrections for 1099 boxes, box amounts, form types, and contractor information (name, SSN/EIN).
- Incorrect Company Information: If the error involves your company name or EIN, you'll need to contact the IRS directly.
- Threshold Changes: If the corrected amount falls below the 1099 reporting threshold ($600), the form will be filed with a $0 amount.
By following these steps carefully, you can correct your 1099s in QuickBooks Online and ensure accurate tax reporting.
