How do I correct the payer information on an accepted 1099?
According to IRS regulations, if a payer discovers any errors in reporting the payer name, address, and/or TIN, they must write a letter to IRS/ECC-MTB.
The letter must contain the following information:
o Name and address of payer
o Type of error (please include the incorrect payer name/TIN that was reported)
o Tax year
o Payer TIN
o TCC (TaxSlayer Books' TCC is 50E30 )
o Type of return
o Number of payees
o Filing method, paper or electronic (electronic in this case)
o Was Federal income tax withheld
Send the letter to:
