asked

My ex-husband has been paying me $5000 a month for the past three years, issuing me a 1099 each year. This past year, I did not do any work for him but still received the money as agreed. Since I did no work for him and never signed a contract, do I still have to report this as a 1099, or can I report it as a gift? If he reports it as a 1099 and I report it as a gift, could this cause issues with the IRS?
