Do I issue 1099s for work done on rental property?

I own a duplex and rent out both units. Do I need to issue 1099s to all the independent contractors who performed work on the property this year? What if an independent contractor performs several different tasks that total over $600 but no one task is greater than $600? If I was suppose to issue them for 2007 but didn't, what should I do? What is the penalty? Thanks very much!

    I don't know the penalty.

    The 600 limit is for the whole year, not per task.

    You MUST issue a 1099 to anyone that you pay $600 or more total in a year.

    No penalty, per se. It would help the contractor because it would be tax free money, like they were paid under the table. Talk to a tax professional, they will give you some free advice.

    as an individual, I don't think you have to issue 1099's - if the contractor gets audited they check his checking acct deposits and compare that to his declared income - not your concern
