1099 from Commission Payment 2 years back?
Greetings, I have a somewhat interesting question that I hope you can help with.
Scenario in short:
Person A agrees to pay Person B commission. Sales and commissions are consummated.
Person A issues W2 Indep. Contract in 2006 which is signed/faxed under duress by Person B
Person A never signs/faxes back signed agreement
Person B assumes no signed agreement, contract is therefore not legitimate
2 years later, in 2008, Person A goes into a campaign of harassment (emails, Voicemails, etc) to Person B to solicit more business. Now claims a 1099 will be issued against all previously signed checks from 2006) and unless all checks are paid back, will issue a 1099 or W2 to the employment company of Person B.
Is this considered harassment legit and can they issue a w2 or 1099 2 years after?
