junkhound junkhound writes: Just curious, pretty sure my entry has no aspect of 'winning', but in the remote chance of such, would FHB be required by IRS to send a form 1099 equivalent at the full retail price of the nailer?

If so, since my entry was about frugality, would want you to give the nailer directly to Habitat or others as already have one and the incremental income tax would make winning a losing cash proposition
