an individual who was deceased in 2018 was given a 1099 INT in 2019 to their individual tax id number for the interest income when it should have been recorded to their estate tax id number. The bank has all the information but refuses to correct the 1099 with the correct tax id number for the estate. I'm not sure what do other then include the income on the estate tax return and attach a letter describing the issue. The final return was already filed in 2018 for the decedent so I don't know of any reporting other to wait for the IRS letter for non filing. Has anyone had this experience before and what was the proper way to handle it? I would also like to file a complaint about the broker for refusing to do this any idea if there is an IRS complaint line for this?
