    Be aware that you also will have to send a 1099 to anyone or entity from which you purchase ANYTHING for more than $600 over a year's time. Do you buy scrap metal, cars or office equipment for more than $600 to any one person/business? You will need to send each one a 1099.

    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    I love your saying at the bottom of your posts. LOL! as a girl, i get laughed at..but not after i cash my scrap checks!! ha ha. and yes I have also looked into the 1099 new "thing". I am wondering if forming an LLC and paying 7 to 8% taxes with legal deductions would be worth the record keeping headache as opposed to just paying almost 30% tax on a 1099 in the state of wisconsin. I do not have the answers yet, but am meeting a lawyer soon to go over my best options. Love the scrap forum guys!!

    An LLC doesn't get you out of paying personal income tax. If you incorporate, you'll pay yourself a salary right? Don't get me wrong, there are some tax benefits to be looked at, but don't think that forming an LLC will bring your taxes down from 30% to 7-8%.
