Senate votes to repeal 1099 provision

Employer groups have not been shy with their feelings. It’s nice to see that our elected officials seem to be listening.

In a bi-partisan 87-12 vote, the Senate just approved H.R. 4, a bill that would repeal the very unpopular 1099 provision of the health reform legislation. The House had previously approved the bill by a vote of 314-112, so now it goes to President Obama for his signature.

This provision would have required employers, beginning next year, to issue 1099s to any vendor that they pay more than $600 during the tax year. This would be a drastic change to what 1099s have historically been used for, which is to report payments to contractors – people who perform a service for your company but are not on the payroll.
