U.S. Senate Votes to Repeal New 1099 Reporting Requirements for Businesses and Landlords

Legislation1099's
Written By Tristan R. Pettit, Esq.

The U.S. Senate has passed H.R. 4 which repeals the new 1099 reporting laws for businesses and rental property owners. The vote was 87-12. Since the House had already passed this bill -- and no modifications were made by the Senate -- the bill will now go to the President for his signature. While the President has indicated that he did not care for the "pay for" (offset) provisions that were included in H.R. 4, he has supported the repeal of the 1099 reporting requirements, so it is believed that he will sign the bill into law.
