My Form 1099-B has the incorrect proceeds from a stock sale. Do I report the correct proceeds or request an amended Form 1099-B? Since the IRS will tie my Form 8949 back to the Form 1099-B, seems like I must report the incorrect proceeds listed on the Form 1099-B?


If you wind up fighting the due date, then file the return with the proceeds shown currently but you should absolutely demand a corrected 1099-B if you are certain the proceeds shown are not correct - you can file an amended return thereafter if necessary.
