For those interested from the good folks at the Washington Post:

"President Obama on Thursday signed into law a measure that repeals the unpopular 1099 tax-reporting provision of the national health-care law.

The move marked the first successful effort by Congress to repeal a portion of Obama’s signature health-care legislation.

The Senate earlier this month voted 87-to-12 to repeal the 1099 provision. The House passed the measure in March on a bipartisan 314-to-112 vote.

The White House released a statement announcing the Obama had signed the measure, which it said “repeals the expansion in the Affordable Care Act of requirements for businesses to report information to the Internal Revenue Service on payments for goods of $600 or more annually to other businesses and increases the amount of overpayment subject to repayment of premium assistance tax credits for health insurance coverage purchases through the Exchanges established under the Affordable Care Act.” "

All good, HR. If you're somewhat new here.......this was an idiotic portion of the law where we were going to have to start issuing 1099's for any any fuel expenses over $600 to truckstops.

Not sure what happened to that idiot law but it read if you paid cash in excess of 600 you had to issue a 1099... How stupid that was didn't matter fuel or tires or bananas if it was cash you had to report it
