Furthermore, until further guidance is issued by the IRS, such employers will continue to be exempt from the next year’s reporting requirements as long as they are required to file fewer than 250 Forms W-2 for a calendar year.

On April 8, 2011, Governor Susana Martinez vetoed portions of HB 59. The portion vetoed would have changed the contribution schedule from a floating schedule for 2012 to Schedule 3.

Schedule 3 Seen as Counter-Productive

According to Governor Martinez, “I do not support increasing job-killing taxes on small businesses while we are struggling to recover from a recession. Making it more expensive for small businesses to hire people would be counter-productive to our efforts to put more New Mexicans back to work.”

Protection of the Solvency of the Unemployment Fund Is a Priority

Governor Martinez also indicated support for returning to Schedule 1 for 2012. “I have already begun working with members of the legislature on a plan that will protect the solvency of the fund and keep the contribution rate locked at Schedule 1, in order to help small businesses create more jobs. I intend to include this issue on the agenda for the upcoming special session on redistricting. I seek a bi-partisan solution that will protect the solvency of the Unemployment Fund without crippling job growth.”

This week’s question comes from Lindsay, an office manager. I read before that businesses were going to have expanded Form 1099-MISC reporting requirements starting in 2012. Now I’ve heard that these requirements may have been repealed. Have the expanded Form 1099 reporting requirements been repealed? Answer: The expanded reporting requirements for Form 1099 that were added as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act have been repealed.

Business Reporting Reverts To Previous Rules

Business reporting now reverts to the previous rules, requiring reporting of payments of $600 or more for services performed by non-employees. Most payments to corporations are exempt.

Reporting by Landlords Also Repealed

Expanded reporting requirements for landlords have also been repealed. Landlords not in the trade or business of renting property will have no Form 1099-MISC reporting requirements.
