Learn when and how you can correct forms after an order is sent to the IRS/SSA, including using delayed processing options.
After an order is sent to the IRS/SSA for filing, you can't modify or correct the forms in that order until the IRS/SSA finish processing the files. If you've already placed your order, wait for an email notification confirming whether the IRS/SSA accepted or rejected it.

What to do if you get a new 1099-DIV form in 2024
When you receive a new 1099-DIV form, the next steps depend on how you originally filed your forms.
If you receive a new, second 1099-DIV form for tax year 2024, it means the information on Copy 2 (bottom) was correct but wasn't included in the Copy B (top).
This new form now includes the missing information in Copy B (top), which was previously only shown on Copy 2 (bottom).
Action to take
-
If you filed electronically and entered the information found on Copy 2 (bottom), no action is needed.
-
If you filed by mail or included a physical version of Copy B (top) with blank boxes, you may need to resubmit this amended form to match what was filed with the IRS by the issuer.
