I run a twitch stream and my girlfriend helps me manage it as she has streamed in the past on her own account.
All the payment & proceeds go to me & my PayPal account. When we filled out the tax information last year, we mistakenly put my partners SSN & Name for the twitch account. I Identified the error the other day and changed it to my information (MY SSN/NAME) but the 1099-MISC was already generated under her name the day prior.
This income can not be reported under her because it would mess with her unemployment and other benefits she has gotten this year.
I contacted twitch/amazon to issue a corrected 1099, and they say they are not able to. They don't have to report it to the IRS until late February and by law they are able to fix this problem by issuing a corrected 1099 but they are refusing
What is the our next step for this?
Should she just paper file her tax return, include a document explaining the issue, not file the 1099 and then I'll file it under myself instead?
