It is definitely the wrong form. I called the issuing group and I was told to contact the volunteer fire department. I did so and have not heard back from them. Turbo Tax will not let you input info from a 1099-MISC with the free version.
My question: Can I just input the info in my tax return using the 1099-R info and hope that it will be corrected? If I do so, my 1099-MISC may not look as if it was not recorded, but I will input the exact amount of the payments! Any thought would be appreciated. The amount is relatively small but I want to report it.

Wasn't this what the IRS used to get Al Capone.
