The update contains many improvements and fixes, and makes PopClip ready for macOS 10.15 Catalina.
As part of this update, PopClip has had a significant overhaul of its internal workings and there might be new issues that I did not pick up in testing, especially regarding compatibility with various apps. Please report any bugs or app compatibility issues.
A note on the version number
PopClip now has a calendar-based version number. This update, being released in September 2019, is version 2019.9.
Improvements and fixes
- PopClip now follows the system accent colour for its button highlight (which you can set in System Preferences → General).
- Faster application start-up and generally faster operation.
- Safari:
- 'Double click and drag' method of text selection in Safari now works.
- Should not cause Safari make the annoying 'boop' sound nearly as much.
- Firefox:
- The problem where PopClip would interfere with drop-down menu selection in Firefox has been eliminated.
- Brave:
- Search and Open Link now work within Brave browser.
- Search action now also puts the selection on the clipboard.
- PopClip pops up when clicking the auto-selecting address bar in Firefox, Opera, and Brave (as it already did with Safari and Chrome).
- Improved 3rd party app compatibility. In particular:
- Works with JetBrains apps (such as PHPStorm, AppCode etc).
- Works in Microsoft PowerPoint 2016.
- Works in Help Viewer windows.
- Works in Spotlight results window.
- Works in 1Password.
- Fixed missing title text in the extension options window.
- Recognises 'hook:' app URL scheme when detecting links.
A change to 'Paste' activation
- PopClip no longer shows the 'Paste' option when double-clicking in an empty text field, or when single clicking on text immediately after copying. To show the Paste option for an empty selection, you must now long press the mouse button.
Preview PDF compatibility
- PopClip still does not work properly with PDF files in the Preview app in macOS 10.13 and 10.14. Please note this is due to a bug in Preview affecting those versions of macOS. The good news, however, is that it appears to be fixed in the 10.15 betas.
Goodbye Mavericks, Yosemite and El Cap
- The minimum system version is now macOS 10.12.6 Sierra. Support is therefore being dropped for macOS 10.9, 10.10 and 10.11. PopClip 1.5.8 is still available to download for those systems.
The update is rolling out as a phased release over the next 7 days to all Mac App Store customers with automatic updates turned on. To get it right away, head to the Mac App Store where you will find PopClip in the Updates tab.
Enjoy PopClip.
Popclip 2019 1099-misc
Rules and deadlines for filing 1099 forms are constantly revised and it's important for tax professionals to stay on top of the changes. Here are two changes coming for the upcoming tax filing season involving 1099-MISC and 1099-K.
Rules and deadlines for filing 1099 forms are constantly revised and it's important for tax professionals to stay on top of the changes. Here are two changes coming for the upcoming tax filing season involving 1099-MISC and 1099-K.
New IRS rules for submitting late 1099-MISC with Box 7
Starting in January 2019, the IRS will institute new rules regarding how to submit 1099-MISC with Box 7 and those without Box 7 after the due date of January 31, 2019. If submitted improperly, companies may receive penalty notices for their non-Box 7 1099-MISC forms. These new rules apply to both paper and electronic filing.
What this means: After January 31, 2019, 1099-MISC with Box 7 filled in should be filed separately from 1099-MISC with any other box filled in. As an example, on February 5, if you have a 1099-MISC with Box 7 and a 1099-MISC with only Box 1 filled in and your e-file provider has put them in the same record, as per last year's format, the MISC with Box 7 will be flagged as late, which indeed it is. The challenge is, however, that the 1099-MISC with Box 1 may also be flagged as late, even though it is not, since it is not due until Mar. 31.
It is important to make sure your e-file provider is following the correct IRS transmitting rules that separates the 1099-MISC reporting after the January 31 deadline to prevent companies from getting erroneous section 6721 penalty notices who are not filing with Box 7.

Popclip 2019 1099 Form
If companies do accidentally submit non-Box 7 1099-MISC along with late Box 7 forms and get a Notice 972CG, A Penalty is Proposed for Your Information Returns, according to the IRS they may respond and clarify the content of the submission, indicating the number of Forms 1099-MISC that did not report Box 7.
New 1099-K State Filing requirements with Gross Amount more than $600
Certain states are starting to require submitting 1099-Ks that have more than $600 in Box 1a Gross Amount, which is far less than the $20,000 minimum required for federal reporting. Exhibeo 1 0 4.
The IRS does not currently require companies to submit 1099-Ks unless the Box 1a Gross Amount for the year is at least $20,000. However, individual states have become attuned to the income reporting possibilities with this form and are mandating submission of the 1099-K for gross payments more than $600. This $600 is the same threshold for 1099-MISC Box 7 reporting.
For various reasons, many companies prefer not to report to the IRS the 1099-Ks that do not meet the federal threshold of $20,000. This does not remove their requirement to submit to their state the 1099-Ks that are more than $600, but less than $20,000.
At the moment, Massachusetts and Vermont have implemented the reporting requirement for 1099-K with more than $600. Be sure to stay up to date with your particular state's rules as they may pick up this requirement in the future.
