What if my address on my Form 1099 is wrong?

[er-ramirez95]

The address is mostly correct. The unit number is incorrect. No other incorrect information on it. Do I request a new one?

No, you do not need to request a new Form 1099 if the unit number for your address is incorrect as this will not affect your tax return in any way.

If you will be receiving any further mailings from this company, I would recommend that you contact them so they can correct it going forward.

What if I have just one number in the payee's zip code wrong? Am I required to make a correction? 

[CatinaT1]

No correction is required for incorrect addresses.

@CatinaT1 Thank you!

What if the State is incorrect, thus leading to "out of state income" on my 1099 being for the wrong state?

[CatinaT1]

Is just the address portion incorrect?  As long as there are no withholding for an incorrect state, the address does not matter.

I work contract and paying estimated taxes.  I lived in Georgia until the end of January 2021.  I moved to Florida (no state taxes).  I found my 1099 still has the old Georgia address.

Any issues with this?

[JohnW152]

No, no issues.  Just enter the 1099 as is.

[dhenders123]

Thank you, I was worried.  I have proof I lived in Florida all year, but always the worrier...

I just received my 1099-NEC for the year 2021 but it has my old address from TX. 
I lived in NC for the whole year of 2021.

Also, I don't see any withheld amounts in Box 4 (Federal) and Box 5 (State).
Should the address difference matter when I will be filling state taxes this year (2022) for NC?

You worked and earned all of your money in North Carolina so all of the income will be reported there.  The address on the form has no bearing in terms of where you need to file. 

As far as not having any federal or state withholding, that is expected with non-employee compensation.   If you are used to having a W-2 job, you understand that the withholding is taken out throughout the year and the employer covers one half of self-employment tax.  As a self-employed worker, you are responsible for both ends of the self-employment tax.  

Here is a link to better understand filing with a 1099-NEC.

Filing with a 1099-NEC

[99bhmi99]

As per my understanding, since my 1099-NEC has my old address of TX, the payer didn't file/report it to NC.

So, as an individual person, filing State Tax Returns for NC and reporting 1099-NEC income (addressed to TX) is OK?

The address it was mailed to is not relevant.  Unless you plan on claiming it was income earned in Texas, and avoiding state taxes, you would have to apply that income to the state you earned. If you did decide to omit that income from your North Carolina return, and you get audited, the mailing address won't be a valid way to get out of it.
