This situation can occur if you had an income-related event in your account like dividends or sales of securities. Sometimes, even if you reinvest these earnings, they’re considered income by the IRS, and you'd receive a 1099 form. If you think there's an error, you should review your account activity and contact your financial advisor or the entity that issued the 1099 form. Errors in reporting could cause unneeded scrutiny from the IRS, so it's crucial to address discrepancies promptly. This would also give you an opportunity to understand how and why the reported income occurred.
