Why should you attend this webinar?
The
regulatory landscape for Form 1099 compliance keeps shifting as
Congress attempts to balance jobs growth with narrowing the tax gap and
the IRS attempts to address fraud and identity theft issues involving
information returns including 1099 Forms. Over the past decade a number
of changes were written into the law and regulations. While some changes
have been implemented and others have been repealed, all of them
created compliance challenges for businesses.
To
prevent fraud involving information returns and false refund claims,
the filing deadlines for certain 1099 Forms has been moved up. The IRS
recognized the potential for an increase in the number of errors on
filed 1099 Forms and has revised the de minimis error rules. In
addition, penalties for non-compliance have been increased and are now
indexed for inflation.
Form
1099-MISC will be covered in detail. It presents a special set of
reporting problems since it is used to report a number of types of
payments with different requirements for each type of payment.
For
all information returns, the issuer must obtain correct tax
identification information from recipients and, if required for a
particular payee, withhold income tax from payments to that payee. These
two processes involve soliciting and obtaining Forms W-9 and W-8 from
payees, not only to obtain the information, but to establish due
diligence and a reasonable cause penalty exception when things go wrong.
