That's gonna suck for me with both my small business and with my regular job.

And about 894890479423 partisan right websites as well. It's a big buzz seems right now.

Maybe this is a jobs creation bill for accountants, LOL

If IO rent cars from Avis at over $600 a year I have to 1099 them, If I buy $600 worth of leather in a year from Tandy I'll have to 1099 them.

I have never liked that bullshit, a bill should be delineated and only about the central and surrounding issue to the bill. No add ons for rum and pirates and porn filmers in the banking bills, or whatever that was,  by example.

From the article quoted....

"It’s easy to see how the transactions could number into the hundreds, even thousands, in a typical year.

a. Why the change?

b. Why is it part of healthcare reform?

The answers:

a. The IRS wants more ways to track revenue, because the agency believes it’s missing out on $300 billion in unreported income.

b. Included in the health bill are changes aimed at raising the money needed to fund reform. The 1099 stipulation is one of those changes.

There’s some legislation being floated in Congress right now targeted at repealing the 1099 requirement. If no repeal gets passed, the new law will cover any transactions that take place after December 31, 2011."


I wouldn't worry your little head until Dec 31, 2011. I have a hunch that it will be repealed or greatly modified.

But the government is broke and I am confident that they are looking at ever means possible to get their hands on missed income and taxes.

Don't worry, it won't be much longer till everything will be electronic. The trees will still have leaves.

If you as a private citizen sell me your car, Arch, as a private citizen, I gotta 1099 you?

Do you have an actual linke to the provision? 

But yeah, governmental units shovel paperwork and shit on the day to day folk constantly.

And to answer your questions Yes and Yes both would require a 1099.

Anyone with over 250 1099's will be required to file electronically, so I'm not too worried about the trees. The IRS exceptions will still apply so you won't have to 1099 for your merchandize or for services like telephone, storage, freight and gas which are supplied to your business. You will have to 1099 the plumber or electrician who comes in to repair your pipes or fix your lights, but.. you're supposed to be doing that already if the charges exceed $600 for a year. I don't think this will have as big an impact as people fear.

Status: offline 		No one will do it if it actually requires mailing out a form to the seller or the govt. Maybe it will be done on the spot of the transaction as part of the receipt? It would be the responsibility of the seller to act on it or not. Not sure how the buyer would transmit such data to the gov't.

Not even worth considering until 2012 and we will all be dead anyways.

Yep, I feel for the small businessman...I am one of them.

But you don't read the Cato Institute among others rant about the 60 years of lobbying that purchased most of our great 'free market' [sic] 20,000 page tax code.

Seems the costs associated with all of those burdensome what, say 19,000 pages and their corresponding reporting requirements are a mere pitance in my overall investment in our plutocracy.

No, we only hear and read about the great burden on small business who don't benefit from most corporate tax law, of reporting these requirements to discover tax cheating and something that serves society at large. Why am I not surprised ?

"other fixed or determinable gains, profits, and income", and it is unlikely that purchases of goods is intended to fall under any of those categories.

Purchases are deductible with a receipt. That isnt the issue, its whether the buyer needs to send the IRS a 1099 so that the seller can be taxed on its "profits". Since the seller is already required to keep records on their sales and expenses, an interpretation that a 1099 is needed in addition to the existing record keeping doesnt make any sense.

Status: offline 		So , in essence...they want the purchaser to report any large purchases so a business can't pocket the money.  I suppose I see the point, but it makes me wonder how many businesses are operating that crookedly...and its not just the business owner, then...its his accountant, too, I would think...getting in trouble for not reporting it

I best just go back to work lol.

They would have us believe and I am not buying it yet, even upon the sale of your car for anything $600 & up...must be 1099ed.

Status: offline 		I seem to remember having to give my tax ID # to Sysco, Sexton, and all the other vendors I dealt with when I had my restaurant, so I could bypass paying sales tax.

The mechanism for providing Fed tax IDs is already in place. This might take an accountant an extra 20 minutes or so to input tax ID #s on order to print out compliant 1099s.

Sounds like another rethug faux-issue to me.

pretty soon those 30 minutes start to amount to real time and real money.
