How can I correct a filed 1099?

elle2 · ‎March 1, 2021

I stupidly put the recipient's TIN in both the payer and recipient sections of a 1099 that I issued to a contractor that has already been accepted by the IRS. I had the contractor file with my TIN, but I need to change that. According to the IRS documentation here that I have already read, these are the instructions www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1099gi.pdf

How to report incorrect payer name and/or TIN.

If a payer discovers an error in reporting the payer (not recipient) name and/or TIN, write a letter containing the following information.

1. Name and address of the payer.

2. Type of error (including the incorrect payer name/TIN that was reported).

3. Tax year.

4. Payer TIN.

5. Transmitter Control Code (TCC).

6. Type of return.

7. Number of payees.

8. Filing method (paper or electronic).

9. Was federal income tax withheld?

I read this FAQ: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/account-management/transmitter-control-code/00/768... and it suggests that I only need to call to get the TCC. I was never asked to provide a TCC and I don't have one when I filed the form through https://quickemployerforms.intuit.com/. This is extremely frustrating as I have everything to correct the form except for the TCC. I don't have a TCC and I never saw one from Intuit's end. Please help assist with this- I really need to correct this and I have done everything in my ability and I'm at a dead end. What can I do to fix this? I've been calling TurboTax for over an hour and gotten absolutely nowhere.
