Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thanks for your post. Since Rebates should be paid at closing, there is no reason for your realtor to give a 1099. If the commission was $15K and the Realtor agreed to pay $5k towards closing cost, the Realtor will only show income of $10K. They can't double dip and try to write off another $5K. IRS Publication 525 explains this.
