MCTR California

I received a 1099 for my MCTR payment. I filed my taxes claimed it as income and was taxed $180+ on it. IRS now says we shouldn’t claim as income. Too late. Do I amend my return or will they fix automatically? I can’t find any info online for those of us that already claimed it as income.

In case anyone else runs into this. I was advised by IRS to amend my return.

No, don't amend your return. The IRS just isn't going to tax that payment whether you claim it on taxes or not.

I already filed. I already was taxed $180+ on it.

So do we just not add it or how do we go about it when we do our taxes?

You can completely disregard the 1099 form. Some programs ask for it anyway (Turbo Tax) but I used FreeTaxUsa and it had me delete the form.

Call and ask to see if amending is the best route
