New 1099 requirements for B2B Transactions

I have a bone to pick with the congressmen and congresswomen! You know how legislators slipped the relevant provisions in the bill? Yes, well, they did it again. Section 9006 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Health will mean more load large documents for small businesses. This should be done by 1099 given form, it is nothing to do with health.

Starting in 2012, all businesses are required to prepare 1099s for all goods and services purchased from vendors all over $ 600. The current law stating that only services provided in excess of $ 600 must be reported by 1099 and the company (with the exception of lawyers) to be exempt from receiving 1099s.

Starting in 2012, the company has not released, and the purchase of goods should also be included. The passage of the law on government efforts to close the $ 300 billion tax gap, which can help pay for health care reform. So I guess it is not directly related to the Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act included.

Depending on the industry, many companies must collect, report and pay the excise tax on a wide range,. How much does all that cost your business in Bookkeeping and Payroll preparation costs? Now the owner of the business must report all business-to-business transactions. So buy your business makes from Staples, Office Depot and other vendors, including the reported transaction. You should get a federal ID every vendor, keep track of your purchases and prepare the form. It will involve a lot of extra hours of time-keeping. It is mandatory to obtain an accounting software upgrade because there is a new form and a new preference to set the software to keep track of the numbers. It is important for all of the bean counters that can double, triple and maybe even quadruple the cost of their 1099 preparations. But at what cost to small business owners trying to recover from the recession and continue its business going?

Speaks 1099-reporting, the situation gets worse. Starting in 2011, all credit card processing companies to report annual credit card transactions over $ 20,000 and 200 transactions submitted to them for processing any business to a new IRS form 1099 -K.

I think it stood, but only because I was concerned about this possibility, the IRS will come with a solution. So pay attention! If you pay for purchases with a credit or debit card, you do not need to give 1099. Credit card companies do. There stood after all. You are only required to provide 1099s for payments made by check or cash. So I do not need to ask for a federal ID Office Depot after all. Since 1099 form format change, we all have to buy an upgraded version of QuickBooks or any software used for accounting and 1099 preparation.
