Yes.

Such payments are reported as an expense under Contract Labor on Schedule C.

Anyone you pay $600 or more per year must be issued a 1099-misc in January. Have them fill in a form W-9 before you pay them anything so you have the required information later when you need it ... if you don't the deduction will not be allowed.

The IRS claims we did not file in 2008 but since it was so long ago we no longer have records I have no proof and they claim they no longer either. What can I do?
