    Dads business sent a 1099
    My step daughters Dad sends her money by depositing it in her checking account, He has his own business and sent her a 1099, She does not work for his company, and I always figured it was a form of support or an allowance, but he is trying to use her for a tax write off. What can she do other than pay the tax? My step son has the same thing, but he didn't get sent a 1099 and is on better terms with him than my step daughter... should he be reported to the IRS?

    Unless he can prove that she performed some service for the company, then this would sound fraudulent. How old is she by the way?
