Teeny-tiny little numbers on 1099-Rs

[Black Bart]

I know I just today swore off complainin' but this... -- I can't bear it -- would try the patience of Job. I've gone through dozens of 1099-Rs today and last year I thought the numbers just couldn't get any smaller. But, they've absolutely outdone themselves this year -- instead of just holdin' 'em up close and under a light, I had to break out the magnifying glass today.

I'm asking my congressman to introduce legislation requiring a mandatory death penalty for the insensitive louts printing such atrocities.

Got 4 W2Gs for gambling and I could not read it either. Can I borrow your magnify glass?

Same here

What is even worse, is on the original W-2 or 1099 form the print was small to begin with, then the client faxes to you or creates an attachment to email (postage stamp size).

I haven't found the magnifying glass that will enlarge to readable characters/numbers

I need to send a bill to someone for my Opthomologist and New Glasses for Eye Strain

if you have a multi function printer you can enlarge it

Why can't I think of something so small like that at tax time. Thanks that helped

Unreadable 1099's/W-2's etc.

I ask the client to read them. They can't. Then I make them contact the sender to get a readable copy.

Makes my client mad, delays their refund of course. But not my problem.

Same applies to clients who bring me bank statements and checks. Some can't read their own handwriting.
