You can do it yourself, by hand would be a pain in the ass if you don’t know what you’re doing. If you do know what you’re doing, its gonna take maybe 1/2 hour for a few 1099’s. I just looked for low cost services online and Intuit will prepare all the forms for you for $39, $25 if done before Jan 23.[/quote]
Presumably, if you’re a business owner, you have a piece of computer software that tracks all your expenses, because $600 paid out to a handyman is $600 that you can deduct from your net income, and that lowers your tax bill, potentially by up to $200. So it’s a simple matter of adding a new feature to that software, to make it print a stack of 1099’s when you do a tax return.
