]]> Comment on Full Disclosure Part Deux: IRS to Require Millions of New 1099′s by admin http://patriottaxandbookkeeping.com/full-disclosure-part-deux-irs-to-require-millions-of-1099s/comment-page-1/#comment-60 admin Wed, 15 Sep 2010 20:18:10 +0000 http://patriottaxandbookkeeping.com/?p=326#comment-60 If your brother is in business the dealer would have to issue a 1099 under the proposal. The dealer most likely would make him fill out a W-9, which is a certification of the tax ID of the recipient of payments, since he could not confirm whether or not your brother was a sole proprietor. In your brother's case the tax ID would be his SSN. All sole proprietors have to disclose SSN's to customers on a routine basis, so this is not unusual.

She is lucky she kept her job. No one in exam could get by with that. Only an RO would say keeping receipts “would be rediculous”. She is lucky she kept her job.

I dislike when my tax dollars are use in the name of bad science. Soda has been around since 1265. See... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_drink#History Governor Paterson should back off the soda. It is not the source of the obesity problem. Inferior physical and nutritional education, which of course leads to poor exercise habits and ill-advised diets, are the cause of inflated waistlines. Having a salad with a Coke is far better then a bottle of water to wash down a face full of dirty water dogs. Add walking up the stairs instead of taking the elevator and you’re golden. There is bad science supporting this bad tax. See… http://www.scientificblogging.com/news_articles/doctors_poke_holes_soda_tax_proposal I advocate the responsible use of governmental powers, both in taxation and implementation of programs. Why target soda with an extra tax? Isn’t the sale tax we all pay on all the food we purchase enough of a burden? Will a soda tax really do anything to curb obesity? It offends me that some politician is planning to tax my freedom of choice in the name of a problem he will do nothing to solve. The evaluation of Governor Paterson’s soda tax really comes down to one question. How much of those soda tax dollars will fund physical exercise programs vs. pet projects to keep the politicians in office?
