I am in Illinois. My question is this: In 2000 I worked for a social service agency. I was paid bi-weekly. I quit after 6 1/2 months. Over the 6 1/2 time frame I accrued vacation time. I was set up with direct deposit and and 2 weeks after I quit I got a paycheck deposited into my account. I assumed this was my vacation pay which was due to me. I got a phone call from the agency stating they over-paid me and that they want the money back. i refused because I believed it to be mine. Long story short, I never gave it back. So in April of 2001 they send me a 1099Misc for the amount of my pay before taxes! What am I supossed to do with this? Do I file with my 2001 taxes even though it is technically from 2000? They are a big organization and do not see the sense in battling with them. I just do not want any trouble from the IRS. Any suggestions as to what I should do? Shouldn't this have been filed with 2000 taxes not 2001? Please advise!
