With a new mandate looming that will require business owners to file millions more tax forms, the Internal Revenue Service has begun the daunting process of figuring out how to turn the law's sweeping demands into actual rules for taxpayers.The new regulations, which kick in at the start of 2012, require any taxpayer with business income to issue 1099 forms to all vendors from whom they purchased more than $600 of goods and services that year. That promises to launch a fusillade of new paperwork: An estimated 40 million taxpayers will be subject to the requirement, including 26 million who run sole proprietorships, according to a report released this week by National Taxpayer Advocate Nina Olson.
Olson's office, which operates independently within the IRS, flagged the new reporting requirements as one of its priority issues for the next year. Like many who have delved into the details of the new rules, Olson is concerned about their far-reaching scope and potential unintended consequences."The new reporting burden, particularly as it falls on small businesses, may turn out to be disproportionate as compared with any resulting improvement in tax compliance," the Taxpayer Advocate Service wrote in a report released this week.
But hey. What the hell were they going to do with that money if they weren't going to give it to me. Raises for their employees?
I need to donate more money to the DNC. Let's face it they've done more for my net worth than any republicans have.

As a conservative I would say that I have benefitted very much personally from liberal policies. Without going I to detail, I will say that I have derived a great deal of income from servicing lower income folks. Let's just say my demographic is the lottery crowd. So liberals, by expanding the lower income market, has really helped me. I wish I was servicing the middle class. But that market is in decline.
I would gladly give up my extra income to live in a society that is, as a whole, better off. But until we start allowing citizens to own their own bad decisions and learn fom them, we will confinue to be 300m people making 300m bad decisions a day.
