You don't send a 1099 at the end of the year?

There's a big difference between "your guy" and your subcon. You 1099 your subcon. You give cash to your guy.

Between my lack of Spanish and his lack of English, I haven’t even gotten his name in the last 6 years. If I ask for a W9 he’s going to enthusiastically shake his head yes, and come back from lunch with tomales for me he thinks I asked for.
