Does Software Help to Avoid Errors with 1099 Form Changes?
Software cannot entirely prevent users from making errors as they complete 1099 forms. Look for a system that can flag inconsistencies and further identify some of the common mistakes. All users should consider how software can better assist in avoiding major headaches, like:
Missing Deadlines – Prepare your 1099 forms early with software that lets you enter worker information year-round. Familiarize yourself with filing deadlines and automate as many steps as possible. Filing forms electronically with additional software will help you stay on top of the deadlines.
Overlooking Required Forms – Use software that allows you to generate a variety of 1099 forms. Different businesses understandably must file specific documents. Review any of the latest 1099 form changes with software that generates and reflects the actual form.
Inputting Information in the Wrong Box – Putting the correct information into the wrong box is a common enough mistake. Try not to panic if your tax software overlooked an error. Consider a solution such as investing in e-filing software. Electronically file your corrected forms. Send your revised copies to the Internal Revenue Service or any other agency with more speed and lesser penalty fees.
Disregarding Electronic Filing Requirements – The IRS put into effect new electronic filing requirements for 2024. Align your business with their new threshold for filed paper returns by simply transitioning to electronic submissions. Going fully digital for your 1099 form changes enables your business to stay compliant while eliminating the cost of printer paper and ink.
Forgetting to Send Form 1096 – Eliminate needing to send IRS Form 1096 when you cease all 1099 paper filing. Save money on resources and save your time with 1099 tax software.
How Software Makes Filing Corrections Easier
Keep in mind that there is not a separate 1099 correction form like you would need in order to submit any W-2 corrections. Generate amended 1099 forms with software for 1099 Type 1 or Type 2 errors. Speed up how you fix Type 1 errors whether you need to fix an amount, a name, or if you simply filed a form in error. Electronically filing 1099 form changes to the IRS means they will receive and acknowledge the form quicker and likely minimize your consequences.
Make submitting Type 2 error corrections easier with software that allows you to easily generate different forms. You will no longer need to worry about mixing up whether to send a 1099-NEC or a 1099-MISC form. Fixing a mistake such as preparing the wrong form is still straightforward if you immediately e-file the correct document.
