Thanks all for your ideas. My concern is not with federal taxes but with state taxes. If the 1099 NEC income was reported to a state that I didnt live or work in, I dont want that state coming after me for taxes since the form would lead them to believe that I was a resident while earning the money. So a correction would be for the benefit of the state to which the income was erroneously reported.
Based on the section 11, it looks like only the payer can correct the record with the IRS and the IRS then notifies the state. Is there any way for me to notify the (wrong) state directly?
