Thanks for the tips, Shannon! I read that I have to submit any corrected 1099s via the same way the original 1099s were filed. For example, I can't submit the corrections via a paper return if I e-filed the original. The article also said I have to e-file corrections using the same e-file method, too. They said I can't mix FIRE e-filings with IRIS correction e-filings, so I think I have to figure out a way to e-file the correction with the FIRE e-file method (which I assume TurboTax is using?) and not the IRIS filing method.
It's a mess. I'm really frustrated that TurboTax transmitted my forms twice and created this issue. I have alerted TurboTax to the issue of the Quick Employer Forms not allowing a $0 corrected form, as filing a $0 corrected 1099 is the way to fix many filing issues and is very common.
