I had not heard of the nightmare.  Now that is has been repealed, it would
seem that in reality nothing has really changed in my world.

Found this:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Small Business Paperwork Elimination Act, which repeals the 1099
tax-reporting requirement established in the health care overhaul law that
passed last year is now official as of April 14, 2011.
The President signed this act last week, putting an end to a potential
reporting nightmare that would have forced all businesses to file a 1099 on
transactions over $600 and a W-9 with all companies they do business with.

The 1099 reporting rules continue unchanged, meaning than any businesses or
persons that make payment to another person of $600 or more must report the
amount, name and address of the payee to the IRS and the payee.

So no changes for businesses who have been filing their 1099s every year.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Does NOT change my opinion of the government or the current administration.
