I printed and mailed my 1099s and 1096 to the IRS. I created the 1099s and 1096 with Turbo Tax. I sent a 1099-Misc to someone by mistake. I am trying to correct it in Turbo Tax. I followed the instruction to make a new file, etc. I zeroed Box 7-Nonemployee compensation that previously had an amount. No amounts are entered in any of the other boxes on the 1099-Misc. I deleted all of the other 1099s. This is the only correction that I have. Turbo Tax is producing the corrected 1099 but not the 1096. Why didn't Turbo Tax create the 1096 and how do I get it to create the 1096? Thanks!

According to Quick Employer Forms (this is Intuit's online website for preparing W-2s and 1099-MISCs), corrected 1099s must be prepared using the IRS website and instructions. See screenshot.

I did not use QEF to prepare the 1099s/1096. I printed them with Turbo Tax Home & Business and mailed them to the IRS. Per Turbo Tax software instructions, I should be able to correct the 1099, print and mail the forms. Please see the instructions below.

@ssemory I stand corrected. You're saying that the 1096 you originally mailed was generated by the TurboTax software, but the corrected one is not being automatically generated? Will the program allow you to enter the corrected into the 1096?
