A 1099-misc was issued to a client of mine on June 19 2008 for a giant bonus for good work done for the company, practically doubling their income. The IRS is treating this income as missing on their 2007 return. Should I try and get the income reclassified to 2008 income depending on when client had access to the funds, and then should this go to Schedule C with some additional expenses or can I get away with putting it on Line 21 and adding expenses (we REALLY played ultra conservative with expenses, scout's honor) to the 2106? We're not talking about a small bonus here, we're talking 6 figures.
