You will select a Correction Reason:

When the Tax Identifier or Payee Name is selected, you will need to enter the previously recorded information under the Correction Reason field:

Once the information above is completed, please update the Payee name and Tax-ID with the new corrections that will be reported to the IRS in the fields above the Correction Reason drop-down.

If the Correction Reason is "Payment Amount." Please update the Taxable Amount and click Save.
