What You Need To Know
How New 1099 Requirements Could Impact Your Association
Did you know the new health care legislation would require your association to issue possibly hundreds or thousands of Form 1099s every year?
In the recently passed health care legislation, all employers would be required to file a 1099 with the IRS for every transaction with a for-profit vendor that is more than $600 a year. This includes both one-time payments and cumulative payments over the year. Imagine filing reports for office supplies, meeting registrations, office cleanings, outside consultants, hotel stays, or any payment you make to a business. The paperwork, cost, and time would be a nightmare, especially for smaller staffs.
ASAE is working with Congressional offices on 1099 repeal legislation, and we can keep the momentum for repeal going with your help:
For more information on this subject, contact ASAE's Public Policy Department at (202) 626-2703 or publicpolicy@asaenet.org.
