Update – President Signs Repeal of Expanded 1099 Requirements
Part of the recently passed Health Care Act contains a provision which will require rental property owners to start issuing 1099 forms for certain goods and services claimed as rental expenses. Starting in 2011, if an owner pays more than $ 600 per year to a single contractor or service provider the recipient (and the IRS) must be sent a properly completed 1099 form or the deduction may be disallowed.
