Question

We just filed our 1099s and noticed afterwards the owner's name instead of the company name was inluded. Can that be changed? Anyone know why that happened?

Hi, Mary.

 

To correct a 1099 form with inaccurate information, the IRS must first accept the form, and its status should be updated to "Accepted."

 

Here’s how to check the status of your 1099 form and make corrections:

 

  1. Go to the Taxes section.
  2. Click on the 1099 Filings tab.
  3. Find the 1099 form that is incorrectly filed and check the status. 
  4. Click Correct to update the details.

 

If your contractor profile is set to Individual and you want the company or business name to appear in the contractor's profile, ensure it is entered in the Business name section.
