Landlords must issue 1099s

Beginning in 2011, landlords must issue 1099s if they pay someone (e.g., a self-employed carpenter or plumber) $600 or more during the year. Previously, landlords were not covered by the 1099 laws.

Some landlords will be exempt if their rental income is very small. The IRS will let us know at a later date (hopefully sometime this year) how much rental income will trigger the 1099 requirement.
