New tax law and the W-9

Everything I read makes it sound like the world is coming to an end when the government starts requiring small business to report payments made on 1099s.
I don't think this is a big deal.  Go here to download a fillable w-9 form from the IRS.  Fax, mail, or e-mail it to every single person you paid any money to last year.  This is easy to do if you've followed my advice and used Quickbooks.
If you haven't, don't worry.  You are using Quickbooks now, right?  Send a copy of this with every single check you send out and keep track of the ones you get back.  If a vendor doesn't return it, inform them that you won't be paying them until they do return it.
Now, play nice.  Keep one filled out with your information handy.  When someone requests it, send it to them immediately.  Better yet, just put your tax id right on your invoices.
