My 1099NEC employer form filing was rejected for the following reason:
"Your business info doesn’t match the IRS records. Typically, this happens if the Business Name and business Tax ID (SSN or EIN) are not matching their records." I got an email from TurboTax stating : "Please e-file a replacement as soon as you can. Visit Quick Employer Forms to resolve this issue.
Your filing date will be the date of your original submission."
I made an error in the EIN.
When I go to the Turbotax employer forms filing, the option to "correct" is greyed out, with a message that this is only available after IRS accepts the filing. When I click on "edit", it says that I cannot edit an already e-filed form.
What do I do? How do I fix this?
Thanks.
Print your forms and mark the 'CORRECTED' box on each 1099-NEC. Include any 1099-NEC that is affected and include the Form 1096 transmittal. Mail to the address on Form 1096.
Wouldn't this apply to 1099 forms that have already been accepted by the IRS? Then I can do this through the "correct" option on the website. Right now, since my forms were rejected, the website does not allow me to use "correct", and therefore does not let me change anything.
I can print the forms manually and then use a white-out to correct the error - but again, isn't the "corrected" option on the form meant for "already accepted" forms? The email from TurboTax seems to suggest that I should be able to fix the error and file again, while retaining the original date of filing - but I cannot seem to find a way to do that.
Alternately, I can refill the forms with correct information manually and file, but this also does not seem to be the ideal approach.
Please help!
You can check QB Support or contact QB. You do need to file an original form. The corrected is for after acceptance of original.
Thank you. This is exactly what I thought!
The email from QB states: "Please e-file a replacement as soon as you can. Visit Quick Employer Forms to resolve this issue. Your filing date will be the date of your original submission."
I am confused as to how the filing date will be the date of original submission if I am creating a new filing.
