How do I correct the “Recipient’s name” on my 1099-MISC form?

The recipient name on the Form 1099-MISC is the person or entity who earned royalties income during the tax year. In most cases, the name must remain unchanged. If there is a spelling error with the name, we may be able to issue a correction before filing with the IRS on March 31. To request a 1099-MISC name correction, contact our customer support.
