1099ed from an employer i worked for 2 years ago??????

Question

I have been fighting with the IRS for a couple for a couple of years about my 2001 return. I finaly figured out that an employer that I worked for in 1998 claimed he paid me $7,223.00 in 2001. This has been the root of my problem and it took me this long to figure it out. After many many hours and waiting on hold today. After speaking with 6 different agents at the IRS it comes down to this. He (former employer) has to file a 1099-c form and release me from the said debt. This makes me nuts. Where is the 1099 employer F'd up form. He is releasing me from debt that I never had?????????? I didn't make a mistake he did. On top of this I have no way of knowing if he will file the form inside of the 4 month window (extension) that I received from the IRS today. If he doesn't this all comes down on me...again...with more interest and late fees. Is there any other forms that I could get that will make the former employer expedite his correction of his filing??. Can the S.S. adminstration help

The employer lives on Martha's Vineyard where I lived and worked from 95' to 98'. I moved to seacoast N.H. in Nov of 98' about 180 miles north not to mention a 45 minute ferry ride that cost $65 per trip. I also have the last check I received from him because it bounced and the bank sent it back to me. The end of 98' threw 99', 00' and 01' I had been working for other people that sent me 1099's and probably a W2 or too. How could I possible be in two spots at once...it is document just by my work history and residence...is it not?

Answer 1

I have to ask - how good are your accounting records? If you can show that the 1099 was erroneous, the IRS will usually go away. However, if you do not have very good records, they are going to go with what was reported to them. You are at the mercy of your former employer. The SSA gets the same information as the IRS so they will not be able to help.

Has anyone at the IRS seen your accounting records or has it been a succession of computer-generated demands for money and a lot of unsatisfactory phone calls?

Perhaps you should consider getting an accountant. If nothing else, they may be able to speak with your former employer's accountant and sort this out sooner rather than later.

Edit: Sorry to say, that is not going to be good enough. Bank statements, job orders, correspondence are all helpful but the IRS must be able to see the whole picture. It is up to you to prove it, by the way. Yes, I know that stinks but it is the law.
