I appreciate it very much that you replied to my question. I did not do my 2017 taxes for the IRS and they sent me a letter with fines enclosed saying I must respond by the end of this month, either by paying the fines and the amount they claim I owe, or submitting my completed tax form. I am self employed and received 1099-MISC forms for work I did as a vendor for a nursing home and a music therapy institute that I do per-diem work for.
Originally, I was a full time employee as a music therapist at the nursing home but in 2017, the nursing home was sold as a nonprofit organization to a for-profit company. Due to the sale and transition of the nursing home, I did not get paid for all the work I did at the nursing home from April through June of 2017, being owed over $7,000 dollars for that time. I billed the music therapy organization with invoices but they claimed that the nursing home was responsible for paying me and the nursing home said that the music therapy organization that I submitted my invoices to was responsible for reimbursing me.
Then, I received a 1099-MISC form from the music therapy organization for about $10,500 which was much less than the approximately $16,000 from checks that I received from them during 2017. The music therapy institute then sent me another 1099-MISC for about $16,600 for the year 2017. I also received a 2017 1099-MISC from the nursing home for about $6,000, about $400 less than what I received from them in checks during the 2017 tax year.
The IRS taxed me for the two music therapy institute invoices but did not include a 1099-MISC form from the nursing home for 2017 in the reported income the IRS had on file for me during that year. I also have always filed my taxes in the past jointly with my wife who is a homemaker but does not earn any income. The IRS did my 2017 taxes with my filing status as married filing separately from my spouse.
I purchased Turbo Tax for tax year 2017. Can you tell me what I should do about the discrepancies in all the 1099-MISC forms that the IRS received for tax year 2017? The more unfortunate problem is that I only have until the end of July for the IRS to receive my 2017 tax return.
Thank you.
