Need to file amendment

[misshmusic]

I just got a 1099 from an employer I didn't work for this year for $900.00.  It is because the employer forgot to pay me my last paycheck until February of 2016.  I don't think I should be held responsible for that now.  Either way, I already filed my taxes because I had no idea I would get a 1099 from this company.  What should I do?

If you need to file an amended tax return after IRS accepted your tax return due to a missing document, then you will need to wait until your original tax return is processed by the IRS. If you are receiving a refund, you should wait until the check is issued. Amended returns must be filed by mail.

The article below will have the specific 2016 instructions in mid-February.
