If you received a 1099Misc and do not know why----contact the party that issued it to you and ask them.

It depends. The first action you should take is to contact the payer listed on your form.  If you believe you never received any money from this company or person, then ask what they paid you for or why they assigned income to you.

 

Reasons a Form 1099-MISC is issued:

It is used to report miscellaneous income for individuals and companies who have been paid $600 or more in non-employee service payments during a calendar year with the exception of royalty payments of $10 or more
