I received 1099 Misc from unknown Payer for income i did not receive.

I received a 1099 Misc from an unkown Payer for income I did not receive.  I looked up the address of the Payer & it is a home in a neighborhood.  I cannot find a phone number or name. What should I do? I will not include this income, $608.00, in my taxes until I can trace the origin.  I don't have check stubs from this company nor is there a history of deposits in my bank account.  

Thank you,

ph

If your Social Security number is on this 1099-MISC, there is cause for concern. 

You can contact the IRS at their Tax Fraud Hotline number, 1-800-829-0433

You may need to complete a form.  The following link will give you more information that may be helpful:

I deleted the copy of the 1099-MISC that you posted because it had your name, address, and Social Security number. This is a public web site than anyone can view. Do not post personal information or contact information.
