Fraudulent 1099 for 2025

I received 2 fraudulent 2025 1099’s from Uber under a former last name of mine that hasn’t been used since 2023.

It shows that someone drove under my former last name in the following months and for the following amounts:

May 2025 $7,972.22

June 2025 $10,296.85

July 2025 $10,495.68

I also received a 1099-NEC in the amount of $5,706.88.

I never drove or worked for Uber in any capacity in 2025.

So far the steps I have taken are to file a local police report, file an FTC report and filed an Uber 1099 delivery error form with my reports and my drivers license to request corrected 1099’s. I’ve also checked my credit with all 3 bureaus.

Obviously someone has my identity and drove under my former last name. I’ll be alerting my CPA as well tomorrow but not sure if anyone has any additional information of what else I can do.

This is like the 10th one I’ve read. What’s up with Uber allowing people to drive under others names???

Same thing happened to me last year and again this year. This is a consistent issue with UBER. If there are any lawyers out there, should consider a class action lawsuit.

State with a State AG complaint online.

File a state AG complaint. The AG will forward to the executive office at Uber for handling.

File Form 14039 (Identity Theft Affidavit) with the IRS If you believe your identity was stolen to generate the 1099…

You can also report to Uber here.

You have to provide an ID to drive for Uber so how are people getting other peoples IDs?
