I just spent three hours on the phone with the IRS. While finding documentation, I found the note that came with their 1099-MISC. This form letter is a letter sized page cut in thirds, and it starts with "hello", not Dear Mr. Last Name, etc:
"Due to a technical issue the 1099 form we previously sent you contained an incorrect earnings amount. This is your corrected 1099, which you should use to file your taxes. Please disregard the first 1099 you were sent."
etc etc
I hope you have evidence of the "faulty" 1099 form you say sent me. It's funny that the "corrected" box on the 1099-MISC isn't checked.
