Last year a customer accidentally double entered my invoice in their system, and paid me two checks instead of one. I contacted them to let them know of the discrepancy, and never cashed the second check. Their system was never corrected, and I got a 1099 showing I earned double the actual amount. I'm still trying to iron this mess out, and it's just one 1099.
- Anechoic 16y agoThe good news for you is that the uncashed second check will eventually show up as a discrepancy on their books and they will have to deal with it. It make take some time but it will happen.

- anigbrowl 16y agoThe original invoice and uncashed check would substantiate his explanation of the error. I don't enjoy filling out forms etc., but somehow I manage to keep my tax paperwork and business receipts chronically organized in case I ever need to verify something.
