I need to amend a 1099-int to a company we paid. Once the payee received the form, they told me I had to break the amount into 2 different accounts. The IRS accepted it. I see online there is a 1096. Is that what I use and how?

You need to create a new Form 1099-INT showing the correct amounts and information. You will check the corrected box on the top of the form. Then, use the original form 1096 as a guide to completing a new one. You then mail the two forms to the address listed on the original form 1096. You can use this link and look on section H of the General Instructions for certain information returns to learn more about it: Information on certain information returns

does this mean that if I am able to electronically send the 1099-INT that I don't need to do the 1096 as well?

No, not if you were able to e-file the 1099-INT to the IRS.  Form 1096 is required when you mail the forms, original or corrected, to the IRS.
