Exactly who was to blame for 1099 reporting rule in Obamacare bill?

[gimmebackmyconstitution]

I have been searching for the origin of the IRS 1099 reporting requirement in the Obamacare bill. Can anyone shed some light on who specifically is to blame?

[saganite]

Probably a Congressional staffer who was acting in the interests of some lobbyist. It’s for sure no Congressman/woman is responsible since none of them even read the bill much less wrote it.

It was the Senate Finance Committee.

Are you a grandmother working for a subcontractor husband while juggling a child still in high school while caring for your elderly mother while trying to satisfy all the other paperwork requirements of the government??

I didn't think so. It's MORE PAPERWORK!! ditch it already.

Wasn’t it little Timmy G?

[Senator John Blutarski]

..... This 1099 provision was done for a REASON. I believe it is intended as a preparatory step for implementation of a future federal VAT type tax program, which would of course be layered on top of all our other existing taxes.

BINGO!

I think it was planted as strategy: they put something in that was so rediculously onerous that it would never be accepted. Letting it go then paints the perps as reasonable compromisers, when actually they are just commie pukes.

This image is of a part of one page of the three-page form, that MA taxpayers sent in with their tax returns for 2009.

click on it to zoom in.

You can see that it refers to the MA 1099-HC.

“No; I run/own two businesses and have issued a lot of 1099s this year. It's really not a hassle.”

Oh really?
I make 1000’s of one time purchases over $600.00.
It will take months to print all the 1099’s
mail them to the vendors and the IRS.

Not only are you full of crap Your a troll.

Every single person who voted for DeathCare without reading the bill is responsible. You can start the list with the dimmest bulb in the box, Tom Carper (Communist - DE). He bragged that he would not read the bill.

And he’s up for reelection in 2012.

It was put in by Kent Conrad to claim $60B additional revenue (the supposed amount of increased tax collections resulting from 1099s), so that the CBO score would be under $1T.
