Are you asking about the 1099 you issued to the contracter using Quick Employer Forms?

This may have changed so see the QEF FAQs

You cannot use Quick Employer Forms to file a correction on your form 1099-NEC electronically. You have to complete a form 1099-NEC manually and also a form 1096 to send a copy of the form 1099-NEC to the IRS. On the corrected form 1099-NEC enter the correct information and amount and check the Corrected Box on the top of the form. Give a copy to the contractor and send a copy to the social security administration along with the transmittal form 1096. You can use the form 1096 and 1099-NEC that you originally prepared as a guide to complete the corrected forms. You can find the forms online and type them in by using these links:
