Businesses in the United States will have a new federal tax reporting requirement for 2012. All revenues earned through the sale of merchandise, goods, services and vendor supplies will have to be reported to the IRS. Companies will have to keep accurate records of income earned through these sales and send a Form 1099 to each company with whom they conducted business. This new legislation is part of the health care reform legislation passed in 2010. The idea behind this new reporting system is to catch those companies that do not report all of their large business transactions or reveal the total amount of their taxable income.
The New Form 1099 RequirementBusinesses are required to send a Form 1099 to any company with whom they traded goods and services. If a company made a total of $20,000 in revenue from selling equipment to another entity the new law states that the reporting of these sales must be sent from the buyer to the recipient on a Form 1099. The Internal Revenue Service will therefore know what companies are doing business with each other and will have access to the monetary amounts. Any sales amounting to more than $600 must be reported.
The Form 1099 will have a box that must be filled in with the total sales amount. Until this year corporations were exempt from this reporting law but now must also report earnings from vendors, private corporations and other businesses. The box checked will show how much the company or corporation took in as gross sales. The IRS has published several tax form instructions for filling out the 1099 properly and these can be found at the Department of Revenue website.
Separate Form For Each Business PartnerCompanies must send a 1099 to each business with whom they purchased goods or services. This means accounting must be accurate and must separate the totals paid to each business. Many smaller companies are scrambling to reorganize their accounting departments and there has been much discussion about what would happen if thousands of small business were unable to comply with the new legislation. The federal government has stated that this new regulation will actually raise more than $15 billion over the next decade, but how the law is interpreted by the Department of Health and Human Services is unclear to many. HHS is in fact the overseer of the new legislation because the bill was part of the health care reform changes.

When are the new IRS 1099 reporting rules effective?
An all-but-overlooked provision of the health reform law is threatening to swamp U.S. businesses with a flood of new tax paperwork. Section 9006 of the health care bill -- just a few lines buried in the 2,409-page document -- mandates that beginning in 2012 all companies will have to issue 1099 tax forms not just to contract workers but to any individual or corporation from which they buy more than $600 in goods or services in a tax year. This radically alters the nature of 1099s and means businesses will have to issue millions of new tax documents each year. ( this is per CNN/Money Article dated 4/05/10 )
New Form 1099 Reporting Law In Effect ?
In early 2010 the U.S. Congress voted on several issues that were part of health care reform legislation. One of these involved the manner in which businesses reported sales of merchandise. Beginning in 2012 businesses will now have to send a Form 1099 to any company, vender or service provider for sales totaling more than $600. A copy of the Form 1099 will also have to be sent to the U.S. Department of Revenue. One of the central themes of the health care reform legislation is aimed at preventing companies and corporations from underreporting sales of merchandise.Companies Reporting On Each OtherThis new law means that companies will actually be reporting most all business transactions between themselves and other entities. The purchase of merchandise, office supplies, vending services and other goods will have to be recorded accurately, something that may cause a headache for smaller firms not equipped to handle this additional recordkeeping.The federal government has issued a statement predicting this new legislation will actually raise about $17 billion over the next decade. However many critics believe this new law results in nothing more than forcing companies to take on the responsibility of auditing each other. Until this year payments made to a corporation did not need to be reported, nor did payments for merchandise. The change does not affect those companies sending Form 1099-Misc to individuals for non-employee compensation.Business Partners IdentifiedThis new law will reveal the source of merchandise payments. In fact businesses will be required to obtain the tax identification number of all venders and business associates with whom they conduct trade. Companies that hold a seminar and pay the catering service will actually have to report this expense to the Internal Revenue Service. Expenses for hotel stays by employees and guests will also have to be listed.This means that the IRS will now know every large transaction made between companies. All of the revenues earned by a company will be reported and the source of the revenue will be made available to the federal government. A catering company will have to report all earnings from various clients. A hunting lodge will have to report any revenues earned when the income came from a business rather than a private individual.Most experts believe that thousands of small businesses will make mistakes on this new reporting regulation and will be subject to monetary penalties. The federal government has issued several statements concerning the enforcement of the new law, but has yet to explain how the Dept. of Health and Human Services will interpret the law as it is written.
What is a 10-99?
There are a large number of forms in the 1099 series. While each hs a specific purpose, they are all similar in what they do. They are used by a reporter, who is generally obligated to report some item...interest paid for example (a 1099-INT), or debt that has been cancelled (a 1099-C), or activity in a brokerage account (a 1099-B), etc. Generally what they are reporting, BOTH to you and the IRS (who gets a copy of the form you receive), is something you must report on your return...and if you don't, consider that the computer matching programs to check on something like this are fairly effective.
Who uses a 1099 tax form?
The payer. There are a ton of different 1099 tax forms (or information returns) and new forms continued to be developed and released. Each form is sending different information to the IRS. But in all cases, its the payer (the one who is paying out the money) is required to fill out the 1099 form and mail it to the recipient.

Changes to IRS 1099 Reporting?
Most businesses and people who pay someone more than $600 in a year or have to pay specific payments like interest know that IRS 1099 forms are required to be distributed every January following a tax year. Failure to do so can result in audits and possible penalties from the IRS. In 2010 the federal laws that affect how 1099 reporting occur were changed significantly. Within the Internal Revenue Code, the federal tax law the IRS enforces, Section 6041 was modified by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, better known as the Health Care Reform Act. One of the biggest changes was new reporting requirements on payments to suppliers. Businesses pay dozens to hundreds of suppliers every month in the course of their own business. However, how much payment was made to a particular vendor was not reportable until code change occurred. After the revision, any amount over $600, whether one-time or in aggregate, became reportable. This change covered any kind of purchasing for merchandise, raw goods, retail product, equipment, capital goods, and any other purchase needed to run a business. Further, any supplier making a sale is now required to provide a tax identification number, or TIN. Failure to do so results in separate penalties as well as forced tax withholding on the payment due. The change was made to close the ambiguity in payments that go back and forth every day between businesses but were not automatically reportable to the IRS. Some of these payments are ultimately taxable, but proponents argued that not all of it was reported. Closing the loophole was estimated by the Government Accountability Office to possibly produce a new $345 billion in additional tax revenue over ten years. Congress' own analysis was much more modest, hoping for $17 billion in new funds instead. The change is tremendous at a practical level. It creates a whole new bureaucracy of 1099 reporting that now covers the entire wholesale market within multiple industries. Prior to the 2010 change approximately ten percent of supplier payments were subject to reporting. Now pretty much all for-profit companies are affected. The timing of the increased 1099 reporting begins on any payments made after December 31, 2011, which essentially affects any activity in 2012 and afterwards. As a result, anybody expecting to make payments of $600 should have supply vendors' TINs and tax information IRS W-9 forms on file before any checks are printed. This boom in related reporting will create a whole new market for accountants, IRS employees, state tax agencies, and tax lawyers, but it will only result in more tracking headaches for businesses.
