If you discover errors after issuing forms like W-2s or 1099s (U.S.), or T4s or T5018s (Canada), these must be corrected through the appropriate government processes. The steps vary by country and form type:
-
United States: Corrections typically require filing a W-2c for W-2s or a new 1099 marked “Corrected.” Full instructions are available at irs.gov.
-
Canada: Corrections usually involve issuing a new slip marked “AMENDED” and submitting it to the CRA. Visit canada.ca for official guidance.
If you're unsure how to proceed, we recommend reviewing the relevant government resources or consulting a qualified tax professional.
