Did you know that if you go out and buy a $2000 used camera from a guy on Craigslist today, and you want to consider it a business expense, you need to report that payment on a 1099 to him and your year end transmittal to the IRS (Which means asking him for his SSN) - or have a receipt made to you from a company that has an EIN?

.

I also NEVER pay models in cash any longer. I always type a business check. She can take it and cash it herself so I have a record that the payment was made. Checks are proof that the person exists in eyes of the IRS because its deposited in a bank of hers, or she used a check cashing service that checked her ID, or my own bank she walked into that checked her ID, etc.




Use the correct forms for everything. Then double check them.
