Health Care Reform Brings Major Changes to Form 1099-MISC ReportingIRS Form 1099 compliance seminars available from Thomson Reuters in April

Now that health care reform has been signed into law and corporate exceptions have ended, Form 1099-MISC reporting will become even more of a burden to businesses. “With these changes, it’s more critical than ever that information reporting professionals are well versed in the multiple facets of Form 1099-MISC to reduce risk of audits and penalties,” said Jon Buschman, vice president of ONESOURCE 1099 at Thomson Reuters. “To help information reporting professionals understand and prepare for these changes, we’re excited to offer a timely and informative seminar, Changes and Expansion of Form 1099-MISC Reporting.”

Seminar instructors will help make sense of the following topics:

Changes and Expansion of Form 1099-MISC Reporting –– April 1 at 2 p.m. EDT

The corporate exception is ending and, with few exceptions, all corporations will need to be reported on Form 1099-Misc for payments made after December 31, 2011.
New procedures will be required for reportable corporations, property, and gross proceeds based on current legislative action.
Payments for property (goods) will need to be reported on the 1099-MISC if at or above the familiar $600 annual payment threshold. These changes are effective for all payments made after December 31, 2011.
Expanded reporting and tax withholding from payments to vendors and contractors will be required by government payers beginning in 2012.
Changes in P-card payment reporting will begin in 2011.




in a nutshell, congress has mandated that any business payment to an entity exceeding 600 dollars cumulatively in a fiscal year must generate an IRS form 1099. think about it those of you with small businesses. legally you aren't even allowed to pay the person until they give you their tax id. the estimate is already at 1 billion new tax documents. tax firms are licking their lips in response to this one...

That's totally gonna stop everyone from taking under the table payments, huh?

Doesn't look much different to me, maybe it is, I don't know.  Fact is if you are working as a contractor on a 1099, you've always had extremely complicated taxes.  Hell, I get a W-2 and we need an accountant to figure our shit out.
