You used "barter". Your cleaning was in exchange for rent. Rent has a dollar value. You needed to count this value as part of your income. By not counting it, you broke the rules. But since you did not intend to break the rules, you are allowed to appeal their decision.


Do that. Write a letter. No attorney needed. You can read the rules at www.IRS.gov..
