Overview

If you notice any mistakes on your 1099 forms after submission, you must file corrections to ensure accurate reporting with the IRS and/or states.

With the TaxBandits API, you can file a correction for 1099 forms even if the original return was filed elsewhere. However, in order to do so, the IRS must have accepted the previously filed correction. Learn more about 1099 corrections.

Federal corrections​

For federal correction filings, set the FederalCorrectionType field in request payload to one of the following types, based on the correction being made:

  • VOID - The return was filed in error and should be removed from IRS records entirely.
  • AMOUNT - Correct reported amounts or other form-specific fields only.
  • RECIPIENT - Correct recipient details only, such as name, TIN, or TIN type.
  • ADDRESS_ONLY (new) - Correct only the recipient's address.
  • RECIPIENT_AMOUNT - Correct both recipient details and amounts in a single filing.

In the 2.0.0 version , correction returns will be processed exclusively through the IRIS filing format. If the original return was not filed through TaxBandits and only the correction return is filed, the correction will still be processed through the IRIS filing format, regardless of the tax year.

State corrections​

When filing a correction with the state, you must specify the correction type in your request payload in the StateCorrectionType field as VOID, CORRECTION, or NEW, based on the type of information you want to correct:

  • VOID - The state filing was submitted in error and should not have been processed.
  • CORRECTION - Corrects previously reported amounts or codes.
  • NEW - Adds state information that was not included in the original filing.
