That's what I thought, my SSN is on the 1099, so it should be trivial for the IRS to match them up. That's why I was surprised when he said that they only caught it during an audit.
- NovemberWhiskey 5y agoI suspect the term "audit" is being used loosely here. One man's audit is another man's reconciliation - did they just send you a notice of deficiency?
- zw123456 5y agoYup, dumb mistake on my part, so I track it better now. The point is, do I really have to do all this work tracking everything to guess which card they are hiding behind their backs. It's kinda dumb IMO.
- jimmaswell 5y agoThey probably just sent you a letter asking you to pay it with a smidgen of interest and that was that, right? Probably hardly worth doing extra work to be super thorough unless it was a large amount.
- zw123456 5y agoya, it was stupid, the interest was about $300 or something. I would have paid the original amount but I just screwed up and mis-placed the 1099. It was a gotchya game. I think this could be why people hate taxes so much, of course we all hate taxes but the way you do it matters IMO.
