Senate votes to repeal 1099 reporting law

Wednesday (Feb. 2)  the US Senate voted to repeal the expanded Form 1099 reporting requirements that were part of last year’s health care law. The vote was 81-17 in favor of repeal.

The move has broad support because the Form 1099 rules, which are set to require businesses to report any purchases of more than $600 of goods and services from vendors in a year to the IRS, would massively increase accounting costs for small businesses.

President Obama hinted during his recent State of the Union address that he would support repeal of the 1099 reporting law.
