Question about Tax Statement

[Tinkaroo]

I just received a 1099-MISC form from DVC, reporting "other income" for DH and I of $850. Does anyone know what this could be for - last I checked, I was paying DVC, not the other way around?!

We bought last January during the F&F promotion, and paid cash for our 150 pt. contract, so no financing or anything. The only thing I can think of is that DVD has somehow tied a monetary value to the 2005 points we received upon becoming members. Could this be it, or is this just a big error on their part?

Did you refer someone to become DVC members? Those rewards for the referral would be considered taxable.

No - at least not to my knowledge! I definitely didn't receive anything if anyone used my name.

Did you get a discount on the price. When we bought at $86.00 per point, the contract actually shows the full price, but that DVC paid part of the deposit. Is the $850. the part the DVC paid?
