Trnr395 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I have a client that I prepared their 1099 misc forms and efiled them. The copies I gave them they just informed me they mailed in when they picked them up, I am pretty sure they said "copies" but am not 100% certain. What do I do now, the efile has been send and approved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trnr395 Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Will it be fine, or is it going to double up their 1099's and show they made twice as much money than they really did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacun Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Double. IRS will get two entries for the same amount. You should make a correction with 0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 NO, doubling up 1099s SENT BY THEM TO THEIR SUBS OR VENDORS would double expenses, not income. But you are reporting only the single amount, so that will not affect anything. At worst, the IRS might hit one [or more] of the recipients for double income, at which point I am sure the client will here from them. And you give the sub a signed letter stating the correct amount, and that clears it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imjulier Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Seems odd that the client would take the initiative to mail them to the SSA unless you gave them explicit instructions to do so. I suspect they sent them to the recipients and the recipients will know that they received the same form twice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack from Ohio Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Without a 1096 they will be discarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 imjulier makes a good point, they may indeed have mailed them to the subs/vendors, since without the SSA address they would not even know where to mail them to the feds. And Jack is right, unless he included the 1096, SSA would not process them. Of course, he probably had a copy of that too. That is why I always used a red "FILE COPY" stamp on the copies I gave clients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxxcpa Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Before I started e-filing 1099s, I had to tell the clients where to mail them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Ron Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 When did we start sending 1096 and 1099 to SSA? That goes to IRS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
