It was not for services. It was just money he owed me. He became very careless with his money management and his credit score tanked so low. Selling his home was the only way for me to get paid back. I did end up hiring an attorney and my brother signed a lien agreement, making it an official lien filed with the town, on his home in the amount of 37,000. he sold his home and the closing attorney sent me a check. I just did not know if I would receive a 1099S. This wasn’t even the full amount of what he truly owed but I agreed to settle because he ended up selling his house for less than what it was worth and I’m just tired of fighting. Was never any interest on the money. It was just a flat number owed. I’ve never been in a situation like this. Glad I was paid back but nonetheless I don’t need to have any tax bill surprises in the near future.
