My Client received a Legal Settlement for destroyed Lab facilities associated with his LLC.
The settlement was issued to his personal TIN on a 1099-Misc with box 3 showing the amount.
He has legal fees associated with the settlement paid by his LLC
Can I show the 1099 MISC on Schedule C with an explanation?
May not be able to get a new 1099-Misc with the correct information.
Thanks
Why not just attach the explanation without the Schedule C? Playing games like "Trick the IRS Computer" by adding to gross income may trigger an audit when the algorithm looks just at receipts, not deductions.
Another one? How many clients do you have whose lab equipment was damaged?
From July:
Now I understand why TV shows such as CSI show lab techs in the field with guns. Protecting the sampling devices.
Schedule C has other deductions and Income . Could I just add the 1099-MISC as other income on schedule 1 line 8 z and the legal expenses on Schedule C?
But this creates a miss match of income vs expenses ?
Lots of labs in Massachusetts
Where is the mismatch?
I'm trying to figure out how ancestry, of dogs or humans, can be 17%. Or let's say, 1/6.
I could understand 1/4 or 1/8. One of the grandparents, or one of the great-grandparents, belonged to that breed.
I suppose if 11 out of 64 ancestors in the 6th previous generation are labs, that works out to 17%.
I need to file a Schedule C or the LLC,
But I have a 1099-Misc associated with the LLC'S business however the TIN is for the individual and not made out to the LLC EIN.
What's the best solution?
The income would be on Schedule 1, the legal expense would be on schedule c.
Is that a problem
The net result is almost the same except for self employment taxes
The LLC is filed on a Schedule C .the LLC has it's own EIN .
The Schedule C is filed with the clients tax return so it eventually all rolls up under his SS#
Oh, now I understand where you see a mismatch. Yes, that is Wrong. You can't claim it as business expense and not claim the income as business. Unless there is some personal injury settlement?
