Margaret CPA in OH Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 So a client sent me figures for 1099 MISC. 4 days later a subsequent email was $20,000 higher for one recipient. I prepared corrected one and sent copy. Client has now asked why the corrected higher amount. I copied and pasted her second email in reply and got back a 'sorry about that typo.' Sooooo, is it appropriate to correct a corrected 1099 back to the original amount? Grrrr.... Who gets the low grade on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NECPA in NEBRASKA Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Yes. Just prepare another corrected one. The IRS will be totally confused, but at least it will be correct. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaB Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Grrrr.... Who gets the low grade on this?Remember the boot incident I had about three weeks ago? That action would be appropriate for this. Pretty sure. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret CPA in OH Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Ah, if only my foot could reach that far!So to correct an efiled 1099, one must, as I did, open the original 1099 and check the corrected box. I don't see a corrected corrected box. Should I just resend the original one with the old numbers in it? No, can't do that as it has already been accepted. Maybe try to create a new one altogether? I did try that before but because all the information (EIN, SSN, etc.) was the same as one already efiled, I was scolded by the system to correct it on the originally efiled return. Any ideas on how to create another corrected box on top!Sigh... time to pack it in, I swear! And I just got off the phone with my rep and am really annoyed to have to spend money for MAX because I have 6 trusts and 2 pships which would be extra and then there is the payroll package and 'small' efile fee now plus Ohio cities package. At least I had a nice week in the mountains last week. Should have stayed! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaB Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 All I got is the boot recommendation. Sorry, my friend, I am still in the stone age filing paper 1099s. I just don't want to let it go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanmcq Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Hey, the brokerage firms do corrected corrected 1099s all the time. might want to put a date on it somewhere. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Same here. Still preparing 1099's on paper, even for my client who issues over 200 of them each year. Hope he never hits 250. But then I'm paper-bound anyhow since I'm still preparing Form 1040 on paper.(Notice I said I'm "preparing" these returns, not "filing" them. The only return I FILE is my own. ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 I know and agree with all the positive aspects of efile, but there really is something satisfying about a neat, properly compiled paper return, isn't there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be part of the program, then CCH peeled it out as a cash cow. You can easily live without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it has a neat appearance and it is also a neat concept. Mainly because it carries considerably less risk for the preparer and leaves the resppnsiblity where it poperly belongs. I have no responsiblity for filing - that's the client's job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
