Need To File A Correction?

WageFiling provides easy solutions for creating and filing corrections for 1099 Forms. If your company needs to make any corrections, we have you covered!

Take a look at the common errors below to identify which type of error was made, and how to correct. You can file corrections through us even if you filed in the past or with another company.

There Are 2 Common Error Types

Type 1 and Type 2 as defined by the IRS. Let’s determine what type of correction you need to file.

Type 1 errors are straight forward. Usually, these errors include the wrong money amount being entered or money being reported that should not have been reported.

To correct this type of error only requires one form or entry into Wagefiling. It’s important to always create a new file, enter the correct data, whether that is an adjusted amount or a $0.00 and put an X in the correction box. Pay for the file, print it out and get it to the recipient – we take care of the rest.

Type 2 errors get a little more complicated, but they usually involve a wrong name or TIN (EIN or SSN) but can also include the wrong amount.

To correct this type of error you must create 2 entries in Wagefiling. Again, create a new file and enter the wrong information that was originally reported, put a zero ($0.00) in the money box and put an X in the correction box-this “unfiles” the wrong information. Then create a new entry with all the right information. Pay for the file, print out the form and get it to the recipient – we take care of the rest.

Once you know what type of error you need to correct our program makes it easy!
