Investors & landlords

If this was for rent replacement then the Issuer made a mistake by sending out the NEC form ... this should be on the 1099-misc box 3 for rent.   They should resubmit the correct form to you and the IRS and if they will not then be prepared to support the placement of the money as rent on the Sch E  instead of a Sch C when the IRS sends a letter of inquiry.
