Hi,
For 2020, we received a check as the result of class action lawsuit settlement. It is $1052. Since we did not receive 1099-MISC, we called law firm around Feb, 2021 and ask them if they will release 1099-MISC or something other form because we are not sure if we need to report this money. Then, they said they are not going to release 1099-MISC or other form and we did not receive any form. So, we did not report it in 2020 tax return.
Today, when we are reviewing Wage and income transcript, we found they reported $1052 as other income. We have not received any letter from IRS. What should we do now? Of course, no 1099-MISC on hand yet.
