Under existing tax codes, someone, someplace, has to account for that. The expectation, unless you have a reseller's permit or license, is that you pay tax "at source" on whatever parts and materials you use when you purchase them. That portion is, ostensibly, already taxed. The labor portion is assumed to be untaxed, and, therefore "should" be reported. My experience is that I did not like being the one who had to make the determination between the two and/or be responsible for someone else's failure to report the income received from me. On one occasion, in doing a favor for a manufacturer (often a mistake, but that's another story), I acted as a contractor contracting the services of several other technicians for a fairly large and extensive amount of work. As things worked out, because I failed to submit 1099s, and because several of those folks chose not to report as income the money I paid them, my taxable income (and, therefore, my tax liability) was significantly higher than it would otherwise have been. It took several years and an audit with penalties to get it all worked out. Therefore, I choose to provide 1099s perhaps more often and covering more stuff than I technically need to do. YMMV. Best.
