It's one thing put to something someplace on a return and then back it off because there was an issue as to how something was reported by a third party.  I really don't want to put something on a return that doesn't belong to a client in any shape or form.  Hopefully I don't run into the issue, but if I do, I'm going to have the taxpayer talk to the folks down in St Paul to have them correct the 1099.
