Intent to earn money: Buying home commission rebate
When buying my home, my real estate agreed to give me part of his commissions as a rebate. HE provided a 1099-MISC with the amount as other income.Is this considered an intent to earn money?

Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Typically rebates are not reportable income, but since you were provided a 1099-MISC you are now required to include it on your return.

I'm in the same boat. I received a 1099 from my realtor because he gave me a chunk of the commission he earned from my purchasing a home. I'm just not sure if that counts as "intent to earn money" or not.
