Step 3: Fix error(s) on 1095-B forms

If the IRS accepted your submission with errors, you only need to correct and re-file the specific forms that contain errors.

For example: If you originally filed 1000 forms and only 3 have errors, you only need to correct and resubmit those 3 forms.

Note: Do not remove any form from the 1095-B list! Always update the forms directly within the ez1095 software.
