After paying my retaining fee I still had to pay the rest over time which was around 6000,, I asked my attorney if he would take a 1099a to pay the remaining amount in full. He said yes he would and has been paid through 1099a before. I paid the 6000 with my 1099a and that's one less thing I have to worry about. Thank you Chris. This was in Austin Texas

i wrote by hand on my 1099 and my lawyer had did the direct deposit and it went through 3 weeks after he filed. He said that most lawyers know of the 1099a process but wont offer it, but if you bring it up and say that you would like to pay that way that most of them will take it.

Any chance you would share your attorney's name? I'm looking for someone to talk to from the receiving end to find out some details as I am currently being sued by my former attorney because he won't take it, claiming that it's fraud. Of course, I would never mention your case, name or from where I got the reference. Please help.
Wow this is amazing news. How did you do the 1099A? Did you use a type writer or did you all hand write everything in? Congratulations. Last question, did the attorney mention how long it took for him to receive payment when he accepted the 1099A previously?
Sorry if this is common knowledge, newbie here. Did you also have to send the other forms (1099 OID, etc.) that Chris mentions in the videos to have your attorney do this? I mentioned this to an attorney to whom I owe 12000 (for a piss-poor failure of a job), he said he would check with his accountant if he could. Came back a couple days later and "supposedly" the acct. told him it was just for acquisition/abandonment, which I know is bs. Do ALL attorneys learn about this or is it possible he really just doesn't know? Anywhere I could refer him to for "confirmation?"
I've been thinking about doing this but I can't figure out who's who (lender, borrower, taxpayer, ect) or maybe I'm just psyching myself out... The treasury is the lender, my SSN the borrower, and the attorney is the taxpayer right? Or did you use an EIN instead?
are you feeling out a 1099
