A CP2000 reported income that isn't mine — it was issued to the wrong TIN. How do I fix it?
I got a CP2000 for income I never received. It looks like a payer issued a 1099 to my ITIN by mistake — the money actually went to a different person/entity. How do I tell the IRS this income isn't mine, and what proof do they want?
