If someone does mess up any of the forms will there be a warning from the so-called authorities before any fines are imposed?

Chris has said in his Q&A that you would usually expect a warning.
Donnie, as far as I know, you are ok to keep up to 20% over what your debt amount is and do what you want with it, although I know that amount is debated by some that say not to keep more than 5% and some day 18%, etc.. but most are saying 20% overage is ok to keep. So, if it were me in the first place, I wouldn't put more than 20% over on any debt I am doing a 1099A on, but if you get back more than 20%, then sure, I'd go with Rebecca's suggestion for the rest.
Also Chris has mentioned to show him before sending and he will tell you if correct.
