    Rent Assistance

    Has anyone ever had a client receive a 1099M for rent from the Salvation Army for the rent assistance they received?
    I am preparing a 2009 return from the wage and income statement from the IRS. It has $500.00 listed as rents on a 1099M and the payor as the Salvation Army.

        I guess we won't know until she tells us.

          Yes 1099MISC.

            It looks to me

            like the 1099 MISC should have gone to the landlord. The renter is not receiving rent.

              Well, a 1099 misc for rent (box one, no?) indicates that Salvation army rented some premises from the recipient.

              If not, the form is in error.

              However just maybe the recipient actually worked for the 500 and the amount showed up in the wrong box since SOMEbody knew that he used it to pay his rent.

                my clients get 1099m for the income paid by a non-profit
                Believe nothing you have not personally researched and verified.

                  Perhaps the $500 was in Box 7 and not under rent?
