1099Fire

When you log into the IRS FIRE system, you will be asked whether you are submitting an original, replacement, correction or test file. If you select correction, then the 1099 software also has to identify the file as a correction, otherwise you will receive this error.

The software will identify a Payee “B” record as a correction when you put a check in the box “Corrected” at the top of the form.
