cientax Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I've done this once before a few years ago but have forgotten how to correct a 1099 after it has been efiled. I efiled the 1099s yesterday but now I found an error and need to correct one and could use your help please. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maribeth Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I've done this once before a few years ago but have forgotten how to correct a 1099 after it has been efiled. I efiled the 1099s yesterday but now I found an error and need to correct one and could use your help please. Thanks. Create another 1099 file, or duplicate the file you sent. Correct the 1099 and mark the box at the top that says "corrected". Efile the corrected file. Much simpler than correcting W-2's!

Margaret CPA in OH Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 A timely question as I was just notified that two submitted forms 1099 to father and son had incorrect amounts. In fact, father received total, son received none for 2008. Correcting father's is straightforward for efiling but how can I indicate the son's as Void? I couldn't find in KB or How to's. I can't even override to check the Void box. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Why not just do him a zero 1099, and mark it corrected. That should be all it takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret CPA in OH Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Now why didn't I think of that? And that, KC, is why you get the big bucks and the genuine thanks of the grateful folks in this forum. Why try to make things harder than they have to be, I ask myself...

kcjenkins Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Sometimes it's the easy ones that slip by, Maragret. You'd have thought of it after a while, I bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
