Just discovered I need a corrected form 1099 Misc. What should I do, the company is not responding!

The social security # is wrong.  Do I file it in my return anyway?  It's almost $5,000 so the income is significant.  Or do I file an extension?

You can include the income in your return anyway.  Report it on your Schedule C as 'cash' income without entering the 1099-MISC. 

Keep the 1099-MISC and a record of your attempts to get a corrected 1099-MISC in case there is ever a question by the IRS regarding the income. 

Since no taxes were withheld on the income, the most important thing is to report it on your return.
