Incorrect Addresses on 1099 Forms
August 20, 2025
Q. Does the address on the 1099 matter to the IRS?
A.
(Answered by IOFM's third-party tax expert)
No. While of course every effort should be made to have the proper address, you will not be penalized for a wrong address. And starting with 2019 forms, the IRS removed "wrong address" from the list of reasons to file corrections.
