Dagnabit, I guess it's that fourth grade education that just doesn't allow me to understand all that complex data that you seem to manipulate with ease. Maybe if I had an MBA and 40 years experience (could it be that I do) I would understand that. Or could it be that you don't have any idea what you're talking about. First of all it is not a standard 1099, it is a special form that no one else has but the state of Massachusetts has which has entirely different data than what the standard 1099 does. Secondly it involves not only sending the required form to the individuals but additional reports to the group, as well as specialized electronic data format to the state. Since it's a special request that requires something other than a fly by the seat of your pants report (it requires analysis, project plans, and documentation that is all required by other non funded mandates from the fed and states as well as the almost mandatory yearly changes that some state flunky has thought up to the form and EDI submission) that turns a simple 15 minute listing into a full fledged project. Don't tell me, you're a government bureaucrat in Sacramento that has forgotten about all of the other crap mandates that effect this one.
Welcome to why your government controlled insurance costs are so high.
Oh, I forgot, how long would it take you to burn the 300+ Cd's that are required that you provide to the group?????
