Where is this information that you all are talking about (I must have missed the beginning post) I am thinking your paper trail is your receipt where you bought something for cash. You have to have those so they can pour over them when you get audited. So what you all are saying, is when you go to a trade show for example and buy lots of goodies with cash(because that is easier there) you have to have a 1099 made up for each company you purchased from? Secondly, not everyone uses credit cards. Some people cannot get them due to various financial situations. If you have bad credit and cannot get a credit card, you have to purchase everything with cash or check. How would this be enforceable? In my many dealings with the government agency, they are not worried about the 10.00 bottle of polish you bought with cash. They are after the larger amounts them can collect from you. This is very interesting. If someone could please send me what started this whole thread? Sent from my U.S. Cellular BlackBerry® smartphone

This for those that pay cash, for example, you bought something for your biz for cash, lets say 600.00 and you can deduct this. But since you paid cash you say hey since I paid cash I'm going to write this off as a business expense, and heck lets just say I spent 1,000 dollars instead since there is no paper trail, no one will know. Gov loses 400.00. Now the guy that you purchases this stuff from, for $600.00 and paid cash to him, says hey, I don't wanna pay taxes, and since I have the cash, and no one will know, I won't report it at all. Gov loses 600.00. Now of course this isn't exactly 400 and 600, because of percentages blah blah, just using it as an example. The whole 1099 thing and the credit/debit card thing is paper proof. and Maggie, you just sooooooooooooooooo make me giggle!!!!!!! diana from indiana At 01:50 PM 9/16/2010, you wrote: >Do you think it is to keep track of what we are buying out of state >that we are not being charged sales tax on? > >[] >Angie Wingerter > > > >From: "db...@iquest.net" <db...@iquest.net> >To: nailtech@googlegroups.com >Sent: Thu, September 16, 2010 11:12:35 AM >Subject: Re: NailTech:: 1099 deduction form updates > >Rhonda, thanks for explaining what I meant, i type faster than I think!!LOLO > >Jess, you say that you don't keep receipts, only bank >statements.
