I was neither self-employed nor did any contract work last year. Why did I get a 1040v packet?

[Hello_Kitty]

I got coupons to pay estimated tax for 2010. Anyone else get this? :shrug:

[wtbymark]

1. Did you the year before?

Its probably the same form you filed for 09'

[Hello_Kitty]

2. No. Back in 2007 I did 1099 work for one quarter so I just added it to my income for that year.

This is really odd. I've been unemployed since Sep. and only worked for 5 months last year, but it was W-2.

3. Do you have to pay self-employment tax?

Maybe that triggered it.

[Hello_Kitty]

4. No, I've never been self-employed.

I've done contract work a time or two but it was a while back.

5. Who did you get it from?

Contact them and see what's what.

[Hello_Kitty]

6. IRS. I will contact them. Not worried about it but I thought it was weird.

I'd hate to think they're sending a bunch of these out to people who have no use for them. That would definitely be an example of wasteful spending. :P

[crispini]

7. Very strange

good luck!

8. They usually send out that packet to people who have owed money in the past...

Don't worry about it, you aren't on any kind of list...

I have been doing taxes for 25 years and I have clients who owe every year and don't get the package and those who never owe get the package.

[Hello_Kitty]

9. This is kind of an odd thread to unrec. I actually chuckled when I saw that. eom

[Crabby Appleton]

11. I just reced it back to zero

[TxRider]

10. You may get them for some time

The IRS does that kind of thing.

12. Tell the IRS to piss off. Everybody else is. Taxing ain't collecting. n/t
