As you can see in the title, I received a 1099-MISC from Uber stating I earned $2700 in 2019. I have never driven for Uber nor have I received any random $2700 payment from them. I called their support line and after having me on hold they confirmed I had never driven for them and they had no idea why I got the 1099. They said they will escalate it to the investigative department who will get back to me within 7-10 business days via email.
This whole thing makes me nervous and I am not sure what I should do in the mean time. This is supposedly untaxed income I am supposed to be paying taxes on but which I didnt earn. It has the Uber address and everything, it has the Payer's TIN, an account number (I gave to Uber)... not sure what is going on and they seem just as clueless. Any advice/tips/next steps? Reasons why this may have happened?
