- Here's a question I wonder if someone out there could answer for
- me. Last year (1992) I sold some used computer equipment and shipped it
- COD through an air freight company. A few days ago my wife gets a phone
- call from the shipping company, asking for my SS number. She asks them
- why and was told that in 1992 they had paid me $x.xx for some COD's and
- that by law I had to claim that on my taxes. They needed my SS number so
- they could send in their 1099 forms.
- It seems like the buyer made the check out to the shipping
- company and then the shipping company made me a check. I guess I just
- don't understand why the shipping company would be sending in a 1099 for
- the sale of some used computer equipment that I didn't even sell to
- them. Could someone enlighten me?
-
- Thanks in advance for any info.
