Hi,
I am an army HPSP medical student. My question is regarding a 1099-Misc for tax year 2013 issued from DFAS. I never was mailed one and filled my 2013 taxes with just my W-2 like I always have been doing while on HPSP. I just received a letter from the IRS stating that they have a reported income from DFAS on a 1099-Misc for 2013 that I didn't report on my 1040 and that I owe taxes on that 1099 income now. Was this a big mistake that they issued us all 1099-misc in 2013?? Do we really owe taxes on that? I presume it is for education expenses reimbursement items. I haven't gotten any previous 1099-misc forms any of the previous years on my scholarship. What should I do about this and who should I contact? I see that people have posted about this last year when they were first issued, does anyone know what ever came about with this issue?
Thanks!
