1099-NEC sent to me in error

I am in the entertainment industry, and receive all payments through my agent. My agent pays me, after deducting his commission, and issues the 1099s.
This year, the payer issued a 1099-NEC to me instead of the agent. My agent is required to issue me a 1099 as well, for the same amount (and others paid over the year) so I am going to wind up with two 1099s if this is not correct.

Both my agent and myself have reached out to the payer to rectify the matter, but it is a large organization and correction of the matter is not guaranteed.

If not, what do I do?

1099-NEC sent to me in error

You have already completed the first step to get this issue resolved, which is to contact the company.  You should try contacting them again. If they won't fix the Form 1099-NEC, you can try call the IRS at 800-829-1040 by the end of February if the company hasn't fixed the problem.  Make sure to document when you have called the company and the IRS in case you have issues with this in the future.   

 

If you can't fix the form, enter the 1099-NEC and an expense with the same amount to remove the income. On the expense, write why you are deducting it, stating that you never received the money from this company, and they wouldn't fix the form.
