John, thanks, I think. I was hoping you would notice the thread and post, since you know a lot about a lot of things. But now I'm dreading doing taxes more than usual because of the additional headache with this 1099. I pay all the expenses and keep all the records, so it looks like I'll just put the amount on our own tax return and take it out of their hides... Wonder if I could have asked the producer of the event to give out individual 1099's to each band member. It's not a huge amount, but who knows, we make someday break into 4 digits!

I guess I need to do some homework first, and check out some of the issues you brought to my attention. Sheesh. Thanks!
