Are you saying that they did NOT pay you anything at all, but they sent you a 1099 saying they paid you $10,000?
If so, you will still need to enter the 1099 on your return that they sent you and then back the income out.
You will need to enter the 1099-Misc income and then back it out as a negative number to offset the income that is not taxable.
To enter the 1099 as non-self-employment income take the following steps:
- Income
- 1099-MIsc under Other Common Income
- Enter the information from the 1099-MIsc
- Continue through and say the work does NOT involve work that is like your main job
- Select the years you received it
- Say no, to did this involve an intent to earn money
Then you will take the following steps to remove the income:
- Income
- Less Common Income
- Miscellaneous Income
- Other Reportable Income
- Answer Yes to Any Other Taxable Income
- Enter the description such as 1099-received but not paid
- Enter the amount on the 1099-Misc as a negative number.
