Can I correct the amount paid to a contractor on a 1099 NEC I created and sent to the IRS after it was accepted by the IRS?

I created a 1099 NEC for a contractor but I accidentally put in the wrong amount they were paid. I didn't realize that until I had already e-filed the form and the IRS accepted it. How can I correct the amount?

You have to file a corrected 1099-NEC to file with the IRS and provide a copy of the corrected form to the contractor.
