1099s

[zebracz]

As you surely know, we as indep contrs need to file a 1099. Schools (education) now days are becoming more stringent, precise rather, on where their $$ goes. By law, we should have a 1099 filed w/ each school we officiate at, every year. The school district reports this contractor rate on their taxes; the IRS will have the record, in case one day they decide to come after us (and our advocation). If they did audit us, and we'd not claimed a certain amnt of income over a good ten yrs, it could mean trouble and fines. Sometimes, an official may owe over $2000 a year; however, as I understand it, if I don't make $600 annually from the same school district, I don't have to claim it. But the school will claim it.

Our association asked us to take forms w/ us to give. If you don't assign to too many schools, you could just have each official fill one out at your assoc meetings and you could mail them to the schools. ***goodluck, hope this helped***
