Cafeteria Plan and 1099's
I participated in a Section 125/Cafeteria Plan when working for my former employer. I incurred continuous daycare expenses and received reimbursement through the end of my employment. I received a 1099 Miscellaneous income about 2 days ago. When asked, my former employer said they couldn't find the receipts for a partial amount of the reimbursments and issued the 1099 as income. I have a copy of the daycare costs incurred and paid during that time. They said it is too late to turn in receipts. I already submitted this information, received payment and it is not my fault if they have misplaced the information -- I offered to submit my copy but they said it is too late. What is your advice?
Thank you.
