Form 1099-MISC Minimum for Legal Services?

Jan 08, 2012 1 Replies

I thought that I had read that a Form 1099-MISC would now be required for all legal services, even if the amount was lower than $600. However, the instructions for Form 1099-MISC clearly state that a Form



1099-MISC is to be issued for payments to attorneys of $600 or more. Was the $0 minimum proposed and never passed, or was it passed and then changed, or am I imagining all this?

I believe it was passed but was part of the rescission when the loosened the overly burdensome 1099 requirements.
