1099 1-Step and 2-Step Corrections, Late Originals
Filed a 1099 the IRS accepted, then found a mistake? 1099 corrections fix just the records that were wrong. We prepare and e-file them for you, and your recipients also need a corrected copy as soon as possible.
Get your corrections in before FIRE shuts down. The last day to file through the IRS FIRE system is November 19, 2026, at 3 p.m. Eastern.
We prepare and e-file corrections for 1097-BTC, 1098, 1099, 3921, 3922, 5498, W-2G and 1042-S forms. Corrections take time to prepare, so there is a charge for this service.
Late originals
If you missed a record by the due date, it isn’t a correction. It’s a late original. Send us a file with just the missing records through our secure portal. We prepare Copy B for your review, and once you approve it, we e-file it and send you the IRS acknowledgment.

1-step corrections
Most corrections are 1-step. Use one when the original return had:
- The wrong payment amount
- The wrong code or indicator, such as a distribution code
- A form that should not have been filed (we zero out the amounts)
Send us a file with just the records to fix and the correct information. We prepare Copy B for your review, and once you approve it, we e-file the correction.

2-step corrections
Use a 2-step correction when the original return had the wrong payee name or TIN (or no TIN), or was filed on the wrong form type. Step one zeroes out the original records. Step two files them again with the correct information. We prepare both for your review before anything is filed.

Good to know
- Wrong payer name or TIN: this can’t be fixed with a correction filing. The IRS requires a letter instead, and we can tell you what to include.
- Rejected file: if the IRS rejected your submission, it was never accepted, so it isn’t a correction. We fix the errors and resubmit.
