A Quicker, Easier Way to Handle 1099 & W-2 Corrections
Mistakes happen – especially when you’re manually entering lots of detailed numbers in a 1099 or W-2 tax form.
Correcting mistakes used to be a big hassle. First you had to track down the form, then you had to fill it out, redeliver it to the recipient and re-file it with the IRS/SSA. All that just for one little miscalculation or transposed number!
You can quickly and easily correct many different errors on efile4Biz.com. For your convenience, we support corrections for the following forms that were originally filed electronically:
The IRS now has 2 ways to e-file information returns. In order to process your corrected forms, your original forms had to be filed and accepted at the Filing Information Returns Electronically (FIRE) website. We do not process corrected forms that were originally filed on paper or through the Information Return Intake System (IRIS). Any attempt to correct a form not originally filed through the FIRE system will be not be processed and penalties may apply. If you are unsure, please check with the provider of your original filing. Under no circumstance shall Efile4biz/FormsTax have any responsibility for verification or liability with respect to any penalties. You are solely responsible for verification of the original filing method and any penalties that may arise.

Once you have finished your corrected form, check out and select “E-File, Print & Mail” and then we will print and mail a corrected form to the recipient, and e-file the correction with the IRS/SSA. (Or, if you provide the recipient’s email address, we can offer the recipient the option to download the form for faster delivery.)
You can make corrections on efile4Biz – even if you did not file the original form with us. All you need to do is create an account, add the payer and recipient and then select the correction form from the drop down in the create a form box. Submit the corrected form, and we’ll ensure prompt delivery to the recipient and the IRS/SSA.
Due to the possible penalties, it’s essential that you strive for accurate and timely filings. Should you not file a correct 1099 or W-2 by the due date — and you can’t show a reasonable cause — you may face a penalty. Penalties apply if you don’t file on time, you don’t include all the required data, or you put incorrect information on the form.
Additionally, penalties may be imposed if you file on paper when you’re required to file electronically, you report an incorrect TIN (or don’t report one at all) or you file paper forms that aren’t machine readable.
A few simple precautions can make a big difference when completing a 1099 or W-2:
