Most schools in South Carolina are going to ArbiterPay this year (finally), which is upsetting to officials who had previously just left any income they didn’t receive a 1099 for unreported (since it was common not to make $600/year from an entity when the schools/districts were paying us on their own). Because ArbiterPay will send 1099s based on the total amount paid, now those officials will have no choice but to (gasp) actually report their earnings.

I report mine. It was amazing to watch/hear so many non-reporting officials complain about Arbiter doing that.

Which I've been doing right along. Maybe I'm a chump, but I'm a patriotic chump.
