I paid my tenant "cash for keys" and removed my house from the rental market.
I'm reporting the amount in box 3 "Other income"
I did not withhold any Federal or State taxes from the cash for keys payment.
I am in California and I do not have a CA (8 digit) ID number.
What do I put in box 17 and 18 on form 1099 Misc?
Box 17 "State/Payer's state no.": enter "CA" and leave the "Payer's state no." blank?
Box 18 "State income": enter amount I paid the tenant?
or leave both boxes 17 and 18 blank?
IF I leave box 17 "Payer's state no." blank, will this cause a Turbo Tax "error flag" when the tenant uses Turbo tax to file their return?
Thank you.
