A viewer opened a Square account in their own name for their brother’s business. Now they have an IRS letter saying they owe $29,000. Can they show the income belonged to their brother?
In this video, I explain why a Form 1099-K issued under your name can create an IRS income-matching problem, why the exact notice matters, and how the next steps can differ between a CP2000 response and audit reconsideration after tax has been assessed. I also discuss nominee income and the records that could help support the explanation.
