Here's a new one. Clients husband passed away in 2006 (April). Former employer issued 1099-Misc for non-employee comp for 2007. Company cannot explain why it was done. Any ideas on how to handle?

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Ask the company to explain or correct it.

don't believe Barb CPA's posts, they are consistently incorrect - her history is less than 10% correct answers

the reason the 1099 was issued was because that is what was supposed to have happened - they followed the instructions

you, CPA Tim, may want to take a class on Estate 1041/Final 1040 like I am teaching next month

Kevin, Thanks for the info. Where are you teaching the class. Through NATP? I'm in Chicago suburbs.

My client base is getting older so that might not be a bad idea. I usually have the atty file the 1041. Question though, this was not a single taxpayer. His wife survives him so there is not an Estate 1041/Final 1040?

I taught a 2 day class in Napierville last July.

I am teaching a piece of it in Asheville, NC in May. Website is www.ncsea.org, I believe.
