If you filed a return with the IRS and later discover you made an error on it, you must:

• Correct it as soon as possible and file Copy A and Form 1096 with corrected checked.
• Furnish statements to recipients showing the correction.

When making a correction, complete all information

• Do not cut or separate forms that are 2- or 3- to a page. Submit the entire page even if only one of the forms on the page is completed.
• Do not staple the forms to Form 1096.
• Do not send corrected returns to the IRS if you are correcting state or location information only. Instead contact the state or local tax department for help with this type of correction.

Use a separate Form 1096 for each type of return you

amends that you keep copies of information returns you filed with the IRS or have the ability to reconstruct the data for at least 3 years., 4 years for Form 1099-C, from the due date of the returns.

Keep copies of information returns for 4 years if backup withholding was imposed.
