They issued me two PC Bucks vouchers after the stoneware sellathon and I called and they had cancelled one so it couldn't be used... which was fine.,.. I didn't earn it... but I SPECIFICALLY stated that I wanted to make certain that it didn't get credited to me on my 1099 ... OH NO... that won't happen at all! Well... guess what! :) It did! Double check your 1099's is all I can say.
 
Exact same mistake on mine.
When I called I was connected to some guy who spoke broken English and basically told me it wasn't worth hassling with...I was ticked. Have you made any progress?

Hmmm... not yet but I'm on hold ... it wasn't too much hassle for them to cancell that voucher they sent by mistake and I was honest enough to call and tell them ... If I get anyone who doesn't speak or understand English so that I am assured that I KNOW they understand what I am telling them, I'll ask for a supervisor... with any company...not just ours. I'll keep you updated

Okay... I got a guy with an accent but he was very kind and quite helpful. He said he was logging in LOTS of complaints and then read me an email that we should all be receiving shortly about the errors and corrections... He said ALWAYS call us! Always! You can find good help sometimes! :)

So should I call back again & hopefully get a better guy or should I wait for the email?
What are they going to do to fix them?

He just said that the email says that the corrections were being done, that a new, corrected 1099 would be mailed and available online to download but he could not tell me when. When I asked him when, he just said they were doing the corrections now. If I were you, I'd call back. The more peoeple they hear from the better....and I still have NOT received the email he claimed we had all been sent this morning.
 
I had to call when I saw mine on the internete b/c they had my shipping address( which is my work address) on it and instead of my home address.
 
My december commission was not listed. I only had 2 small shows on dec 1, but they were not on there. I guess I'll be calling as well!
 
I looked at mine and it has an error. I was one of those who accidently got the HWC cups and squares and sent them back but they are still on my 1099. Got transferred 3 times and left a message on someone's voice mail. Hope I get a new one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I receive an incorrect 1099 form?

If you receive an incorrect 1099 form, the first step is to contact the issuer of the form, typically your employer or the company that paid you. Inform them of the error and request a corrected form, known as a 1099-Corrected or 1099-NEC-Corrected, depending on the type of 1099 you received.

How long does it take to receive a corrected 1099 form?

The time it takes to receive a corrected 1099 form can vary. Generally, once the issuer acknowledges the error and processes the correction, it may take anywhere from a few days to several weeks to receive the corrected form. It's advisable to follow up if you haven't received it within a reasonable timeframe.

Will the IRS be notified of the correction?

Yes, when the issuer files a corrected 1099 form, they are required to notify the IRS of the changes. This ensures that the IRS has accurate information regarding your income and tax obligations. You should also keep a copy of both the original and corrected forms for your records.

What if I already filed my taxes with the incorrect 1099?

If you have already filed your taxes using the incorrect 1099, you may need to file an amended tax return using Form 1040-X. This form allows you to correct any discrepancies caused by the incorrect 1099. It's important to do this as soon as possible to avoid potential penalties or interest on unpaid taxes.

Can I e-file my amended return if I used an incorrect 1099?

As of now, the IRS does not allow e-filing for amended returns. You will need to print and mail your amended return (Form 1040-X) to the IRS. Be sure to include any necessary documentation, such as the corrected 1099 form, to support your amendments.
