We got our 1099-Misc form today. When I looked at it, I thought that looks a little high for Kyle's adoption subsidy from 27 Aug 2009 to 31 Dec 2009. Good thing I checked it. It was about $700 too high. I called the state auditor's office and apparently there were a lot of errors. They are sending out a corrected 1099s in a couple of weeks.
And dh was taking our tax papers into the accountant tomorrow.

This is just absolutely insane. If they start making people claim the per diem as income they are going to lose a lot of foster parents.
I printed out the Tax year 2009 National Foster Parent Association Federal Tax Benefits and it is so confusing. On one page it states
Form 1099-MISC- Paymets for services performed for a trade or business by people not treated as it's employees. This form is issued to the service provider when $600.00 or more is paid during the calendar year (tax year). It also states that "If a foster parent receives taxable payments the agency issues a form W-2 or 1099-MISC to the foster parent and IRS. The income must be reported on the tax return. Consult a tax professional for the proper reporting on your tax return.
But then when you look on the next page it states "Payments received from a state, political subdivision, or a qualified foster care agency for providing care to qualified foster individuals in your home generally are not included in your income. However, you must include in your income payments received for the care of more than 5 individuals age 19 or older and certain difficulyt of care payments.
So I am really confused???

Do they ever do anything right the first time around here?? I was being paid the foster per diem for more than half the year last year. finalized adoption in July. I havent recieved the 1099 or the letter .. I did recieve one the prior year and didnt have to put that on any tax forms. just seems like everything they do they have to redact and correct.of course not before it has caused chaos to everyone!!!
