Me too When I had Ultracash, I wanted to report paying foreign webmasters. Our software spit out 1099s for everyone and put all "0s" for non US webmasters. I sent them to the IRS and they fined me $20 for each one. It ended up being over a $20k fine. The thing is, before they let me know, it was another time for taxes and I did it again (not knowing it was wrong). They never did or said anything about them. I guess it just depends on who or what is doing the 1099s on any particular day.
