What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL!
So a few weekends back I won a truck! Very happy!
However the truck was a demo from the dealer, with about 12,000 miles on it.
So I'm still not complaining!
To drive off with the truck, I paid the state tax (based on new value of $29,000) and title fee. Ok no problem.
Now I understand that a 1099 will be issued with the full value of the new truck.
The dealer has assured me that the 1099 will say $29,000.
I don't think its quite correct that the 1099 will show $29,000 for a used vehicle. Rather, the fair market value of the vehicle is closer to $18,000. The dealer even offerred to buy it back from me for $17,000.
Should I just take the 1099 that will be coming next January which will have $29,000 on it, and instead, put the true market value of the truck onto my income (say, $18,000) on my 1040?
Or should I argue with the dealer and get them to send an 1099 with true market value on it? (I don't think I'll win this argument).
In either case, I can get an accurate assessment of the truck's true value with 12,000 miles on it at Autonation or Carmax, they tell me exactly what they'd buy it for.
Do 1099's have to exactly match what you report on the 1040?
