New 1099 Filing Requirements Weigh Heavily on Accounts Payable Departments
Tucked away in the healthcare reform bill (The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act), signed into law on March 23, 2010, are new rules requiring reporting of goods, services and payments made to all corporations, creating a host of new Form 1099 reporting responsibilities for Accounts Payable departments.

Previously, businesses sent Forms 1099 for payments of rent, interest, dividends, and non-employee services when provided by entities other than corporations. Under the new law set to go into effect in 2012, businesses will be required to send a 1099 to other businesses for virtually all purchases – including corporations -- whenever they do more than $600 of business in a year.
This adds a heavy administrative toll on Accounts Payable departments. To file all these 1099s, companies will need to collect the necessary information from all service providers, including a Taxpayer Information Number or TIN from the business. Businesses on the receiving end of the vast flood of these forms will have to match them with existing accounting records -- no doubt presenting tremendous potential for errors and mismatches.
