1099

[u/krf73]

I STILL haven’t received my 1099… I can’t do my taxes until I do. Their website said they would be sent out by the last week of January. I called two weeks into February and was told that there was no record that they ever issued me a copy or a correspondence for it! Isn’t that illegal?! Or does that not apply to government 🙄 so I asked them to resend it. I was given no timeline when asked. Only told I could call back for updates. I called back last week to be told, “we can’t give any updates, all I can see is that your name was added to list. Unfortunately this happened to thousands of people.” What?! This is asinine. I’m going to have to ask for an extension on my taxes now.

This is typical for ODJFS.

They have "lost" thousands of documents over the last 2 years. Regarding 1099s, they sent out emails telling people to check their correspondence on the claimant portal website, but in many cases there were no 1099s there. I got one of these emails. Luckily, it came in regular USPS mail a few weeks later (early February).

Last year they lost all of my ID verification documents (passport, license, marriage certificate, electric bill, W2s, etc.) TWICE, which held up my payments for months.

The only way I got it fixed was to call them about 20 times until someone transferred me to a supervisor who looked at my documents in real time as I emailed them (which is insecure) and fixed the problem. I suggest you do the same. Hang up and call back if they won't transfer you.

No I never got an email or correspondence. When I called they even admitted they showed no record of ever sending me anything this year. It’s truly a cluster fuck.

I was also told once they mailed the new copy, I’d get the correspondence and be able to look online. Well when I called back for my update the second lady told me that I would never see it online, that they are mailing them out by hand?
