Creating and Printing Modified 1099/1096 Forms

Background

There may be a time when you need to pay a contractor after you have already created and printed the 1099s.

If you already have given the contractor the 1099 and filed with the IRS, you will need to print a modified form.

If you have printed the forms, but have NOT yet sent them to the contractors or the IRS, you have the option to create all of the forms again using the most recent information.

To create your modified Forms 1099 and 1096

When you make a payment to a contractorafteryou have created all of your 1099s, you can create your modified Forms 1099 and 1096 by going to:

Reports > 1099 Contractor Forms > Create and View 1099/1096 Forms

Once on this page, there will be a button at the top that says “Create Modified Forms.” Again, this button will only show up if you make a contractor payment after creating your 1099s. Clicking this button will recreate only the 1099s that have been updated since your last creation.

1099/1096修改形式将only report the difference in dollars paid since the most recent time you created your original 1099s/1096. When you file these with the IRS, they will be added to the original amounts paid that you’ve already filed.

When you create a modified 1099/1096, it will appear in your list of 1099/1096 forms along with the rest of your created forms. It will appear in the list as “[number] Modified” next to the type of 1099 (MISC or NEC) that was modified.
