Form 1099 tax-reporting requirement for businesses repealed
April 27, 2011
The expanded 1099 reporting requirements in the Affordable Care Act have been repealed. These rules would have required businesses to:
- Report payments for services of more than $600 made to corporations
- Report purchases of goods of more than $600 to all payees (corporate and non-corporate).
This mandate would have taken effect in 2012.
To recoup the revenue lost by eliminating the reporting requirement, the Small Business Paperwork Mandate Elimination Act of 2011 changed the repayment requirements for individuals who receive subsidies to purchase coverage on the exchange beginning in 2014. Recipients will now be expected to repay a larger portion of the subsidy if their household income increases.
