BTW, did you know that if you hire someone to do odd jobs and pay them in cash which I do commonly for odd jobs, that if they are paid in one year $600 or over you have to 1099 them? I didn't but found out I did. And to add insult to injury, you have to PAY the IRS for the forms!

No, the IRS forms are free. You got onto one of the Google top of the page sites that charge you for forms you can always get for free from IRS.gov for free. Be careful using Google. Some of the pay for form sites look almost exactly like IRS official web pages and you can only tell if you read the fine print at the bottom of the page. I almost got bitten by one the other day when I was attempting to get a new Employers Identification Number because my office was changing from a Partnership to a Corporation. That particular page only revealed itself when it wanted to CHARGE ME $99 for the application fee. . . when I knew it was FREE! I closed that page, went farther down the Google page until I found another one (took me four tries) and closely checked the URL to assure it said IRS.gov!

But, Aliska, all IRS forms, including the 1099s submission paperwork forms are free to download.

The red form which must be turned in to the IRS can be downloaded, but if you print it it is not acceptable to the IRS. The form sent to the IRS must be scannable, which the printed form isn't for some reason. There is a penalty for sending in a downloaded and printed form.
