1099 Repeal News April 14, 2011 - President Obama signed into law legislation to repeal the new Form 1099 information reporting requirements. Specifically, the legislation repeals language from the 2010 health care law that would have required businesses, beginning next year, to issue a Form 1099 for payments to corporations for goods and services that exceed $600 per year to each vendor. It also repeals an expansion of those rules that required landlords to report this information as was enacted under a similar small business law. “Small business owners are the engine of our economy and because Democrats and Republicans worked together, we can ensure they spend their time and resources creating jobs and growing their business, not filling out more paperwork,” Obama said in a statement. For more information, about how this affects you or your business, please contact Tom Friedel or Amy White at (419) 878-7300.
