Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I do need some clarification.
Hypothetically, say that I have the original 1099-Misc that was sent to me with $100 in box 2, and $50 in box 3. Combined, that is a total of $150 which shows up in box 18 (on the original 1099-misc).
If I create a second 1099-misc to account for the $50 in box 3 (as previously discussed), do I then enter $50 in box 18 for that second 1099-misc? In other words, I would have $50 in box 3 & 18? Also, am I understanding that I leave boxes 16 and 17 completely blank on the second 1099-misc?
The reason that I am asking is because I am not sure how the IRS will look at the situation if I change the amounts that have been reported to them on the original 1099-misc.
If I am understanding correctly... one 1099-misc will be $100 in boxes 2 & 18, plus the original values in box 16 & 17.
The second 1099-misc will show $50 in boxes 3 & 18, but nothing in boxes 16 & 17?.
I hope that makes sense. Thank you for your help and patience!
