I am a psychotherapist. A psychologist in another state has been filing 1099s to the IRS with my name since 2016. I don't know this psychologist, have no business agreement with her, and I'm not even licensed to provide services in her state. I have not seen any clients on her behalf, so the 1099s appear to be an effort at fraud. I presume that her motivation is to unload tax liability. I am aware that this psychologist was convicted of Medicaid fraud in 2016. For the tax year 2016, the IRS ruled in my favor, agreeing that the 1099 for that year was invalid. But apparently the IRS is going to go year by year, starting at the beginning each year. I'm wondering about the best legal way to resolve this issue.
