Sorry, I may have worded my post slightly misleadingly. To put it another way, is a householder obligated to file details of personal spending with local handymen of over $600 a year? Over here the obligation is on the handyman to declare what he has earnt; of course what tends to happen is that the customer pays in cash and the handyman doesn't declare it.
Technically yes you are supposed to file a form 1099 for anyone you pay as an individual $600 or more in a given year. If it's for something that isn't tax deductible, like a gardener for example then there's really no point for you to (but the gardener is supposed to report it anyway).
