I have the same thought as StinkyPrincess. Also, the instructions for form 1099-MISC say that box 7 income can include "a fee paid to a nonemployee, including an independent contractor, or travel reimbursement for which the nonemployee did not account to the payer, if the fee and reimbursement total at least $600." I understand most of that, but what the heck does "account to the payer" mean? That the expense wasn't in the name of someone at that company?
