After my mother died in March 2023, I was slow getting a trust EIN, and in informing the credit carder servicer for my mother's motel, of her death. They sent her a 1099-K under her individual SSN, including credit card payments made after her death, which rightly must be reported on 1041 Schedule C as trust income. As yet, the filer has refused to re-issue separate corrected 1099-K forms for pre-death payments under her SSN, and post death payments to the trust under the trust's EIN. Her individual 1040 schedule C income is far less than the total 1099-K payments. And I would expect the IRS to go ballistic.
Firstly, how and where do I report 1099-K income on schedule C, form 1041?
And more difficult, if the filer refuses to re-issue separate corrective 1099-K's, how can I inform the IRS that the 1041 Schedule C gross income includes amounts erroneously reported under my mother's individual SSN on her 1099-K?
IRS.gov indicates that on an individual's form 1040, to enter the correction on Schedule 1, Part 1, line 8z, Other Income: "Form 1099-K received in error, (amount)," and the adjustment on Part 2, line 24z, Other adjustments: "Form 1099-K received in error, (amount)." But there is no mention of what to do to correct a 1099-K for form 1041, schedule C.
