# When do you file a correction?

Learn when to file a correction for forms with errors or changes.

File a correction if you identify any of the following issues in a previously filed form:

-   You entered the recipient's TIN or name incorrectly.
-   You misstated income amounts or withholding values.
-   The recipient's address changed before mailing.
-   You need to reschedule the form for federal/state filing, or mail.

If you have already e-filed the form, Avalara will handle the correction process automatically by generating and submitting a corrected version as required by the IRS.
