If you have filed Form 1099 for a recipient and find mistakes in the form, you can correct the information in the form after the IRS accepts the return. Or, if you were not required to file Form 1099 for a recipient but filed it, you may choose to void the filed return.

With ExpressEfile, you can file 1099 correction or void in minutes. Follow the steps below to file a 1099 correction form.

1. Sign in to your ExpressEfile account.
2. Navigate to Dashboard >> 1099-NEC/1099-MISC.
3. From the left menu, select the E-Filed tab.
4. Click the File Correction icon against the return that you want to correct
   
   
5. Update the information that needs to be corrected directly in the boxes.
   • If you want to void the return, you may check the Void box. 
     
     
6.  Click Save and Continue.
7. Preview your form by clicking the View icon and then click on Continue.
   • If you want to correct one or more returns, click Correct Another Return.
8. Check the Postal Mailing box if you want ExpressEfile to send corrected copies to your recipients.
   
   
9. Click the Complete Your Order button and accept the declaration.
10. Make payment and complete the order.

    Your return will be submitted to the IRS. You will receive an email once the IRS processes your return (typically 2 to 3 business days). 

In case you want to correct the payer’s information such as name and/or EIN, you will need to send a letter to the IRS. Click here to learn how to correct payer information in Form 1099.

Note: To correct state-related information in Form 1099, you will have to file the correction with the state agency. DO NOT file it with the IRS.
