So in my 2016 my Husbands 1099-Misc income form was deleted and I didn't realize it until a few weeks ago. I received a letter from the IRS showing me this mistake and gave me a new proposed amount. My problem is that the IRS has already done an amendment on my 2016 taxes but I do not agree with how they entered the 1099-Misc. In my 2017 taxes (per turbo tax) I entered the 1099-misc in line 21 ( Other income) and was taxed based on that. With the amendment, the IRS used line 57 ( self-employment tax) now my husband is NOT self-employed and does not own his own business, he does wildland firefighting on the side and this is how they pay him.
So my question is, can I re-amend my 2016 taxes to take off the self-employment tac and add the income in line 21?
