This is from 1099-MISC income $40,200 which I got from commission refund of buying house which is a one time thing.

It's up to you to prove to them it was anything else. Start by writing back to the IRS&nbsp;explaining&nbsp;the circumstances. Attach copies of any documentation you have (closing statement?).&nbsp;<BR /></P> Sat, 01 Jun 2019 00:41:44 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/the-irs-considers-anything-in-box-7-of-1099-misc-to-be-se/01/42011#M17323 Hal_Al 2019-06-01T00:41:44Z
