This is different than a standard W2 form, and requires a few additional steps. You’ll need to fill in all of the fields, once for the information originally filed, and once for the correct information (if applicable).
You must file the W2C form with the SSA in the same manner as the original W2.
- If you e-filed, you must e-file the correction.
- If you printed and mailed the original Copy A, you must also print and mail the W2C.
You can also file W2C forms online and let us do the work for you!

1099-NEC vs. -MISC
In 2020, the IRS released a new 1099 form for reporting non-employee compensation, the 1099-NEC form. If you need to report income of $600+ for contractors, freelancers, gig workers, etc, use the 1099NEC form. This information was previously reported on 1099MISC box 7.
1099-MISC forms are now used to report royalties, rent, prizes, proceeds to attorneys, fishing boat proceeds and other miscellaneous information. Official IRS 1099-NEC & MISC instructions.
DATELESS 1099 FORMAT
Many 1099 forms have changed to a dateless, continuous-use format for 2022. This means you will need to fill in the year on each form. Don’t forget to update your software!

1099 CORRECTIONS
If you need to correct a 1099 form because the original has errors, you will need to re-file the same 1099 form.
The only difference is a simple “Corrected” checkbox at the very top of the 1099. Checking this box signifies to the IRS and recipient that there is different information than on the original 1099.
This is the approach for correcting any type of 1099 form, from the popular 1099NEC and 1099MISC to obscure types of 1099 forms too.
You can print and mail the corrected 1099 forms yourself, or file them all online to save time!
