Always a delight reading your posts Alex! I'd be very interested to know what's the general view about cases when the government goes even further and sets up a government funded, and possibly run, coworking space. We find many places where the subsidies are so high that it becomes impossible

There are a few members who give them to me each year, and the money paid is in the rent column. Some of my members do pay by check. I always chalk it up to coworking running up against traditional accounting rules. If they want to issue, let them issue. scott. - --- SCOTT TILLITT PR

Can you cite an example?  Every example that I know of has struggled to build a community and suffers from high turnover and culture issues.  Worse, the existence of the subsidized desk share whatevers makes all of the nearby independent operators panic and do stupid things, which hurts

I think I may know, but I'm not positive:). Here's some history. Our firm (Emergent Research) started do a U.S. coworking survey starting in 2008 with an estimate for 2007. Our counts for the U.S. for 2007 to 2010 can be found at:

Indeed, they paid with check. I've asked for a void per my accountant's advice. She said that since we report all our income anyway, I could technically ignore the 1099 and it'll all be fine. Angel On Friday, February 14, 2014 5:52:40 AM UTC-7, Scott Tillitt / BEAHIVE wrote: There are a few

The 1099K form is a general form of payment that is kind of the 'I don't know where to exactly put this' form. A 1099 form shouldn't be required for services like coworking because a receipt is issued and it's on the user to provide proof. That being said, if they ask it's easy to issue them a

If your company is an LLC or a Sole Proprietor you should get 1099 from all of your members. The reason you probably don’t is tied to how the member is handling their taxes. The smaller the company the less likely they are investing in getting it done properly. For years we didn’t issue 1099

Hey! Just wanted you (and the others that posted after you) to know that I tweeted Jay to see if the map was still being updated, and how to get listings added. The response from @coworkingmap: yes the map is still being updated (manually). Best way to add your space is to give us a heads up
