| Fed Personal Property Tax hidden in HCRB? I get a lot of email from different sources about what the govt is up too. One I got yesterday was one of those "Your gold is at risk of being confiscated". If you recall, the govt confiscated personal gold in the 1930's (when people actually used gold coins to pay for stuff). Well, this email says that tsection 9006 of the healthcare bill does that. So I dug up this " Quote:
So I look for a layman's summary (in English vice govt double speak: Quote:
And this is also a means of tracking who owns what by the fed. I kow there is a provision buried somewhere in one of the bills they've passed lately to allow confiscation of wealth (includes the 401k's OBTW) by the fed in a "declared' emergency, can't remember which one though. Any one out there smart about these things can shed some light on this? | ||

| My understanding of this provision is anyone in business is required to issue a 1099 to any supplier of: $600 or more of goods during tax year. This is supposed to allow the Government an easier method of tracking taxes owed. The big gripe since this came out is the burden has now been shifted to business to report all transactions over $600/year. Imagine you are a real estate agent who uses $601 of paper, ink or equipment (computer or printer) purchased from Staples. YOU are now required to send a 1099 to Staples!

| Hmm. Seems the company supplying the goods is required to report and the the consumer (business or personal) is required to pay taxes and fees? At least that's how I read it. Is that per transaction or cummulative? Anyway - it's a crock. This has to pizz off GW.......... |

| When a company(or person) asks for your SSN so they can generate a 1099 to the IRS, JUST SAY NO. There is no legal requirement you have to supply your SSN to anyone. Just acknowledge(in writing) to the requester that they have requested it and that you refuse to give it. That will stop the requester from getting a $50 penalty for supplying a 1099 with out SSN. It is called Reasonable Cause http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p1586.pdf It is long past time for all of us to say NO, NO MORE.WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH. |
