What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
I was renting a condo with my girl friend(ex girl friend now). The land lord didn't pay the mortgage and we were evicted. The bank gave us 3500 dollars to leave the condo. She was in this country on a student visa and didn't have a social security number. So the bank gave me the money and i split it with her.
Now the bank has sent me a 1099 for 3500. Is there any way I can write off the 1750 i gave my ex? I have utility bills with her name on them and magazines that were delivered to the condo with her name on them, to prove we lived together, plus i have a copy of the check i gave her for 1750, would that be sufficent evidence to convince the irs that i should only pay taxes on 1750?
