incorrect 1099 amount

[nalawson]

Client says 1099 issued to him is incorrect, too much. Company will not issue new one.
My options?
Thanks for any input, I know you all are very busy.

I'd tell him the mutually exclusive options are as follows:

1) I can file the return with the info on the 1099

2) I can fiile an extension to give him time to research his records & reconstruct the amount he actually received from the company so he can show them why the 1099 should be less.

3) He can go somewhere else to get the return prepared.

What type of 1099?

1099-misc. He is a bartender and this was his tip income.
