My client received an IRS bill for a 1099-NEC from a mortgage company. My client had a foreclosure and the payment reported on the 1099 was for a move out payment. Would this type of payment be subject to self-employment tax? I'm wondering if it's worth drafting a letter to IRS asking to wave that part of the tax?
Thanks

A Form 1099-NEC for debt forgiveness is 100% wrong. I don't think anyone is *in the business* of collecting 'cash for keys'.
So yes, challenge the SE tax on this with the IRS. I'd also bug the h*ll out of the mortgage company to correct it.
