Yes, to clarify. All she did was help me setup the twitch account. It's my own account and she does appear on the stream sometimes but that's because we live in the same room. She has her own separate twitch stream that she also pays her own taxes on that is already done correctly this year. Originally it was only a hobby, but the stream made too much for it to qualify as a hobby ($3700 in twitch donations)
Would this qualify as a 1099-MISC error Type 1 or Type 2?
Error Type 1
- Incorrect money amount(s), code, or checkbox,
- A return was filed when one should not have been filed
Error Type 2
- No payee TIN (SSN, EIN, QI-EIN, or ITIN)
- Incorrect payee TIN
- Incorrect payee name
I plan on involving an actual CPA. I always do our taxes and file online, but I think because of this filing manually may be a better bet.
Sorry I use the word partner because that's how we describe our SO's where I'm from. It's more elegant than just saying girlfriend I guess, I definitely see where the mistake comes from in a tax sense.
Also, it isn't as if the payer is refusing to issue a corrected 1099, they are telling me it's all automated and they do not have the ability to do so. I did take a screenshot of this message, they have no phone support for tax related problems so the only proof I have is there messaging system amazon.taxcentral.com
The PayPal account where payments are received is 100% in my name, so I'm hoping that is enough proof.
