AICPA asks for repeal of burdensome 1099 requirements

In letters to Congress on Tuesday, the American Institute of CPAs raised concerns about the recently expanded Form 1099 reporting requirements for businesses and taxpayers who receive income from rental property. The AICPA is concerned with the "overwhelming compliance burden" the requirements will impose on taxpayers, and in its letters it urges Congress to repeal the provisions.
