The 1099-misc I received says it was furnished to the IRS. Is the IRS going to release it doesn't appear on my tax return because it meets the minimal rental use criteria (cottage was rented less than 15 days, used as a residence for more than 15 days). Seems strange to just ignore this 1099 that was sent to me. Should I hand write a note on it explaining why it's not in my return and submit it along with my return? And why, when entering rental income as a 1099-misc, does Turbotax not ask me if the property was rented less than 15 days? If I didn't know about this minimal rental use thing, I would have overpaid on my taxes...
