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

Note: If you want to correct the payer information in a 1099 return, you will need to send a letter to the IRS. Learn more.
