Under the proposed new regulations set forth by the IRS (to take effect in 2012), it appears that small business owners will be hit with a huge increase in 1099 reporting requirements, as each business owner who pays a vendor more than $600 in a given year would have to issue a 1099 for that vendor each and every year.
