1099-misc

Two brothers co-own a piece of farm land rental. This year the new renter issued only one 1099-MISC for the total rent he paid to only the older brother. How do you handle the 1099-MISC the older brother received. As box 1 included the younger brother's share of the rent.

Either the tenant can amend the original 1099 to 50% and issue a second 1099 to the other brother.
or

The  brother who received the full amount acts as nominee and issues a 1099 to his brother for his brother’s share. 

If at first you don’t succeed…..find a workaround
