Completely agree on the article’s ambiguity with its “shoulds”, except for the “all landlords” in the following quote: “Until now, the IRS never provided a definitive answer. However, the IRS has recently made it clear that all landlords should file Form 1099-MISC.”
Thanks for your response. Hate to keep stirring the pot, but the lack of clarity on this issue is so annoying. Have also read that contractors paid by credit card don’t require one , even if a landlord normally would be required to issue a 1099 to them. Still trying to find a reliable CPA for such questions (missed a bigger Roth conversion that I should have done last year based upon misinformation from a CPA).
