E-file 1099 Corrections for Any Error.
A wrong amount. An incorrect TIN. A missing state return.
Whatever the error, TaxBandits handles your 1099 correction — regardless
of where you originally filed.
Federal Corrections
Filed directly with the IRS the moment you submit. TaxBandits transmits your correction electronically and confirms receipt in real time.
- Recipient name or TIN — Correct a misspelled name, legal name change, or incorrect Tax Identification Number
- Recipient address — Update the recipient's address and ensure the corrected copy reaches them.
- Box codes & amounts — Nonemployee compensation, rents, royalties, federal tax withheld, dividends, or any 1099 box code
Payer name, EIN, or tax year errors cannot be corrected via a 1099 correction. Contact the IRS directly.

Key Features
There's More to 1099 Corrections
Than Just Filing
Here's what a complete, accurate, and stress-free 1099 correction experience looks like with TaxBandits.
The Bandit Commitment
You never pay again for the same filing for the year.
When you file a 1099 with TaxBandits, corrections are covered under
your original filing fee — no separate correction charge, no re-filing fees,
no surprises. Getting it right is part of what you already paid for.
Filed Anywhere
Correct 1099s no matter where they were originally filed.
We accept 1099 corrections for returns filed anywhere — with another provider, through payroll software, or on paper. Simply provide the original values, and we'll handle the rest. Standard rates apply.
Recipient Copy Distribution
Send corrected recipient copies with ease.
Once your 1099 correction is accepted, TaxBandits delivers the corrected copy to your recipient — by postal mail with USPS address verification, or via a secure online portal. If recipient portal access was already enabled for the original 1099, delivery is at no additional cost.
VALIDATIONS
Your correction reaches
the IRS right the first time.
Every 1099 correction is validated before submission. TaxBandits flags missing fields, inconsistent values, and common errors before transmitting — so rejections don't slow you down. If one does slip through, resubmission is on us.
Prior Year Support
Old errors don't have to stay on the books.
Most providers only support corrections for the current tax year. TaxBandits supports 1099 corrections for 2025, 2024, and 2023 — so prior-year mistakes can still be made right.

Our Promise
The Bandit Commitment
Every 1099 deserves a right outcome — without paying twice to get there.
Most providers treat every correction as a new transaction. We don't. File your 1099 with TaxBandits and corrections are on us — Free*
Filed elsewhere? We charge once to bring your data and get the correction filed right. After that, any further corrections to that same return cost you nothing. Because once a return is paid for, it should stay covered for anything that comes up.
*State corrections may carry additional charges when adding or replacing state information, or when your state requires paper filing for corrections.
