Reminds me of a close friend a few years ago; similar situation. He worked as a commercial phone tech for one of the big companies. An aquaintence of his who owned a good size auto rod-resto shop needed to upgrade his entire phone system.

My friend agreed to to do it on the side for cash only and priced the job to include equipment at a very,very good price. The guy pulls the trigger and off he goes. I help my buddy do the basic cabling and terminating stuff for a little side cash for me as well.

Job is completed on time and all that is promised, is delivered. Auto shop guy kinda stalls a some on payment and then says that he feels that the job was "a little" overpriced. My buddy has no leverage now and concedes.........

At the end of that year he gets this tax form in the mail from this guy.................................1099 !! My friend calls him up, saying WTF man??!! You're killing me here. Auto shop guy says he "has to do this because it's a capitol invetsment and he can't hide that much cash expense.....................The total job ended up billing @$8200.00


Piece of crap................
