You'll need to file a correction form to resolve this issue efficiently.
It's important to note as per IRS regulations, you must file corrections the same way the original forms were filed. If you e-filed your original form, you must e-file your corrected form. If you printed the original form, you must print the corrected forms. For more information see Understand the IRS regulations for filing 1099s and W-2s and E-file Forms 1099 with IRIS.
If you e-filed, here's how to submit the correction:
Go to the 1099 filings tab
For QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Online Payroll: Go to All apps, then Expenses & Bills, then 1099s.
For QuickBooks Contractor Payments only: Go to 1099 filings.
Tap Correct next to the form you want to fix.
Important: Your business info must be the same as the original file accepted by IRS. If you’ve made changes since you filed, change them back.
The accounts and boxes you previously chose will appear. These are the accounts that represent the QuickBooks Payments or expenses you paid to your contractors, and the corresponding 1099 box.
If you want to change the 1099 box, select the dropdown next to the account and select the 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC box that represents the type of QuickBooks Payments made to your contractors.
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 if needed.
Select Got it to continue.
Confirm if the Corrected total reflects the accurate payment amount.
Note: 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.
Check your contractors' personal info and email addresses.
Select Edit to make any changes.
Select Next.
The next step may vary depending on what you need to correct:
If you updated the recipient's name or TIN: If you updated the recipient (your contractor or vendor) name or TIN, you’ll need to void their previous 1099 form, before you can continue to file a correction. Once voided, you can continue to file your 1099. Select Void and continue to void the previous 1099 form.
If you’ve updated the recipient's address: The IRS doesn’t recognize address changes as part of the 1099 corrections. If the contractor's address is wrong, update their profile in QuickBooks for future filings. You don't need to file a corrected 1099 with the IRS for address changes only. Select Got it to continue.
Select Preview to view each corrected 1099.
Click on Next.
Check your state filing requirements.
E-file your corrected form:
Select E-file corrected form.
Follow the on-screen steps to file your corrected 1099.
