A bunch of uninformed whining is hardly in-depth. You'd think you couldn't file these electronically or that people have to create, gasp, invoices for the vast majority of such transactions.

#15 In any case, the final impact of the law won't be known
until the IRS issues its regulations on the new law,
which aren't expected to arrive until sometime next year.
The IRS has not yet commented on when it will release
regulations or schedule public hearings, and an agency

Cool so where do I send the 1099 for SAMs club, Office Depot, and the restaurant down the street to? Will you come deal with the reporting discrepancies for me. I'll be getting at least 1000 1099's a year, will you deal with those for me? This is needless bueracratic bullshit to the maximum.
