Thanks, I have same issue. I'm going with 3rd option: report the Housing Authority 1099-MISC as income and an expense. I put it on the final screen for "Miscellaneous Expenses" and in the description I wrote that the money from the Housing Authority was deposited with the property manager.
Both my property manager and the Housing Authority were useless, saying that the situation was not a problem for other customers, so it must not really be a problem for me, and so since there wasn't a real problem they didn't need to take any actions...
I pushed and got some more reasonable explanations, though they might not be true and might just be whatever each organization could come up with off the tops of their heads when pressed:
- The Housing Authority doesn't want to change it because it's tied to the receiver's social security number in their systems.
- The Property Manager doesn't want to change it because they did send that money to us and don't want their records to disagree with the 1099 MISCs that they issue.
