I have a long term care 1099 that has funds for expenses in 2019 and 2020

The expenses were not taken in 2019 and they amount to 60,000+ can they be considered for this 1099 I do not want them to have to pay tax on the 60,000

thx

I see you haven't gotten any replies, yet. I think it's because there is a bit of confusion over perspective.

A 1099-What was issued to whom for what reason? Are you asking about the Sender or the Receiver? Are you trying to write off 2019 expenses in 2020?

"can they be considered for this 1099 I do not want them to have to pay tax on the 60,000"

In general, a tax year has reported income and the associated expenses, for a Cash Basis tax payer, are from that same year, You would not "carry forward" expenses.

And, yes, they will pay taxes on whatever is taxable.

The receiver received over $100,000 but 64,000 of that was for expenses in 2019. I believe the trustee of this person did not get these submitted timely and they were paid in 2020 although all the money went to the care facility it looks like they will have a heafty tax bill since these were 2019 expenses.

"The receiver received over $100,000"

Of what, from whom? Examples:

An insurance plan. An Annuity. An employer medical expense reimbursement plan.

"but 64,000 of that was for expenses in 2019."

How were these handled in 2019? Were they deducted on the personal tax return? Are they even deductible? Are you describing a guardianship or caretaker that spent the funds on the ward, then got reimbursed from a trustee? Is this an inhome care provider contract?

"I believe the trustee of this person did not get these submitted timely and they were paid in 2020 although all the money went to the care facility it looks like they will have a heafty tax bill since these were 2019 expenses."

A trust that pays out income to or on behalf of the beneficiary has nothing to do with Expenses being tax deductible or not.

Is this a 1099-R? Are the expenses covered as Medical, or Board and Care, or?
