Notes:  If someone works for you and you pay them more than $600 in any one year you must issue a Form W-2. You must deduct all of the payroll taxes and forward the deducted amounts to the applicable Federal and State agencies.  Your bank can help you with that.  Additionally, for your protection and your employee’s protection, you should carry Workman’s compensation insurance.

 

If the person falls into the category of “Independent Contractor” then you must give them a Form 1099 (Misc.) if they earn more than 600 in any year.

 

If you have people that perform work for you in your business, then you should discuss the above requirements with me for guidance.

 

If you pay any business more than $600 in one year for services, including rent to your landlord for commercial offices etc., you must issue that business/person a 1099 (Misc.).

 

I highly recommend the computer bookkeeping program called Quicken or QuickBooks.  They are made by the same software manufacturer and are both very easy to use.  That will make the end of year tax task one you can do in an hour or less.  Quicken is a simple checkbook program that is usually enough for a one-two person business.
