TechEngage Boot Camp in North Carolina in March

Community Cheerleading

TechEngage is aimed at unemployed or underemployed developers. Connie Marthinsen, who runs the big .NET user group in that area  – TRINUG (hey, how did they get Brad Abrams as a speaker for March??? 🙂 ) and is our INETA liaison for North and South Carolina is heavily involved in setting this event up. (She is also involved with the upcoming Raleigh NC Code Camp) TechEngage Boot Camp is a very interesting concept. You can read more here.

Subcontracting other developers: 1099’s

Just Rambling

I didn’t realize I had to do a 1099-Misc for someone I subbed last year, but it isn’t as hard as I thought.

You have to have real paper forms from the IRS (or your accountant, or the business supply store) because they are red. These are the ones you send to the IRS. The black copies go to the Vendor.

Quickbooks can print them out if you have it set up properly. I had to mark this vendor as a 1099 vendor and then in Preferences/Tax I had to associate the “Nonemployee compensation” box with the account I used to pay the vendor from – in my case “Subcontract: Programming”.

You also need the vendors tax-id. That could be a SS# or an EIN. If you want to be official, you can have them fill out a W-9 that you can download from the www.irs.gov website and give that to you.

Don’t forget that you need a red 1096 as well. It is basically the “cover sheet” for the 1099’s that you submit to the IRS.

Remember – I am not an accountant, just another business owner. This is only basic heads up info, but check with your accountant first!!

If you have been following the saga of Rob Howard trying to get to Vermont for our 6pm meeting where he was our INETA speaker… Rob was stuck in Chicago waiting for a flight that kept being delayed and delayed. We finally decided he should turn around and go back to Dallas. I think we made the right call!

VERMONT.NET – CANCELLED

dotNET

Boo hoo

Rob Howard’s flight from Chicago was delayed again so as there was no point in him arriving very late and then flying out tomorrow morning, I sent him home to Texas and 85 degree weather.

After a quick concensus of those who rsvp’d, many people said they weren’t going to come now (no star, icchy weather, and half of Vermont has some bug anyway – but they *were* going to come if Rob had made it…) so we have cancelled the Vermont.NET meeting.

Rob and I are both very sorry.
