The fools at the IRS have done it again. Make change where there is no need for change and adding to taxpayer burden.
The IRS is using a new 1099 this year for Miscellaneous Income. We now have to use Form 1099-NEC for Non-employee Compensation.
Copy A of the Form 1099-NEC from the IRS website is not scannable therefore, it cannot be filed as the IRS copy. You can order the forms by visiting www.IRS.gov.orderforms or they can be purchased in stores.
You can look at the form and download it but it is plastered with all manner of warnings not to actually use it under penalty of law and all sorts of other giverment threats.
This stupidity was done under Trump. The poor man can't have watched everything the bureaucratic fools do. He was surrounded by enemies to liberty.
Why, after all these years is a new form necessary? Don't we have enough forms already?
To whom do we appeal with any hope of attention, action or resolution or even explanation.
I'm mad to begin with, angrier about taxes in general and even angrier about this brand of insane foolishness.
The IRS is America’s Gestapo.
I kept getting unwanted crap from them so I unsubscribed...
I don’t know how I could hate the giverment any more than I do without destroying myself.
I’m dealing with the same. And some of my payments are still covered by 1099-MISC, so I need both forms.
I’m mad to begin with, angrier about taxes in general and even angrier about this brand of insane foolishness.
My dad lived in both the USSR and Nazi Germany and HE was so terrified of the IRS he wouldn’t take deductions he was entitled to.

First impression is that they are trying to make it easier for people to "overlook incidental income or just not bother with it." Select classes of citizens can thereby be identified as criminal. It is just more of using the IRS to harass conservative organizations.
Looks the same as 1099 Misc I filled out for years and years except for the name.
Sounds familiar. And appropriate.
The fools are supposedly under staffed as it is so they add another form?
They can’t process my refund from 2016 and keep telling me they need another 60 days. What would happen if we asked for another 60 days?
We complain every year and nothing ever gets any better. A letter to your representative, not even about the tax amount but about the inefficiency and intimidation, falls on deaf ears as does everything else.
Isn’t it past time to take matters into our own hands?
They, the giverment, have no fear of us. They know they are dealing with We the Sheeple.
I remember sitting in tax school. Major changes in calculating depreciation but no new legislation. The old school teacher said this was the actions of an incompetent bureaucrat trying to look important.
I asked, in from the the whole group, WHAT IS HIS NAME. Didn’t get an answer
Please note that Copy A is not this way and has lots of notices of penalties for use that I have mentioned. Please also note that it crashes my pdf reader.
PS. IRS are still fools for various and sundry reasons. They are just more self-important pettifogging bureaucraps.
BKMRK.
Can you open or use it without it crashing your pdf viewer? I can’t using Acrobat.
What good is just B when you are required to file A? Why separate them into one that is useable and one that is not?
The FACT remains that this is a new form, not necessary and made inconvenient to obtain.
Even if it was easy to download and use why is it necessary? That trap are they trying to spring on us and why?
Physics is hard because the math to describe nature is hard.
Taxes are hard because the math to calculate taxes was designed by some (fill in the blank adjective) bureaucrat.
If people had to do their own taxes rather than using tax agents or computer programs, we’d see a simplified tax system pretty quickly.
The informational copies are not downloadable, but the others are.
