How to file a 1094-C / 1094-B correction

  • Updated

When you create or import a 1095-B or 1095-C form, you’ll be required to complete a 1094-C or 1094-B transmittal before you can add the form to your order. You can edit this transmittal without filing a correction before you place the order. After placing the order, the transmittal can only be edited by filing a correction

Making 1094 transmittal corrections before the order is placed

  1. On the Home page find the appropriate 1095 forms and click Finish transmittal or Not in cart (view transmittal) in the Status column. Both links will take you to the appropriate 1094-B or 1094-C form.

    The status of your 1095 form will say Finish transmittal if you haven’t filled out its corresponding 1094-B or 1094-C form. You can’t add the 1095 form to your cart if its status says Finish transmittal.

  2. On the 1094 page, edit the fields and click Save. Before placing an order for the form, you can repeat this editing process as many times as you need to.
