To make a corrected Form 1099:

4. Click Save or Save/Print to finalize the changes.

A corrected Form 1099 cannot be e-filed through DAS at this time.

See General Instructions for Certain Information Returns for filing requirements. 

Form W-2c is used to correct Form W2. Form W-2c is not intended to report back pay or to correct Form W-2G, Certain Gambling Winnings. 

Form W-3c is required to be filed with Form W-2c and is automatically produced in the background when Forms W-2c are processed.

Note: Drake Accounting^® requires a processed W-2/W-3 in order to create a W-2c/W-3c. Forms W-2c/W-3c cannot be e-filed. These forms must be paper-filed. 

The steps for creating the W-2c/W-3c are the same for Employees and On the Fly forms.

1. Go to Employees > Federal Forms.
   • or On the Fly > Federal Forms 
2. Select Forms W-2c/W-3c from the Form Type drop list and W-2c from the Form drop list..
3. Select the employees from the list on the left side of the window that require correction.
4. Click Process.
5. Select an employee’s W-2 by either double-clicking the employee or using the Find Employee drop list at the top of the window. You can also page through the processed forms using the page tabs.
6. Make necessary changes directly in the appropriate fields.
7. Click Save to edit another W-2c. Repeat steps 5-7 until all edits have been made.

You can print forms W-2c or W-3c at this time, or click Save to print them at a later time. To print at a later time, go to Tools > Review Reports and select Display Federal Reports (PDF) from the drop list.

The edited forms W-2c are saved and an updated W-3c is generated. If the Print W-3c check box is selected when you click Save/Print, the W-3c displays in a separate PDF window.

Note: All forms W-2c and W-3c can be printed on plain paper using a laser printer. Drake Accounting^® does not support printing standard forms W-2c, W-3c, barcoded forms W-2c, or W-3c on red line forms.
