you used to just be able to tell the tax janny "CONTRACTOR" and that was it.
I contracted marketing labor for xyz, their company was called x. That was it. Now you need ssn, name, address, ect for EVERY SINGLE ONE. Even if I b uy 100 pieces of lumber from a large scale retailer I have to send a specific form.
Needless to say I don't, so it's problematic...
