Due Diligence steps for Form 1099

Recorded Session
90 Minutes

Form 1099 due diligence protects issuers from penalties, even when a form turns out to contain incorrect information. This 90-minute webinar covers Form 1099-MISC, reporting requirements for different payments and payees, filing and withholding requirements, and reporting guidelines.

You'll review changes to filing due dates and the safe harbor for de minimis dollar errors, penalty provisions and exceptions including reasonable cause, common errors and how to correct them. The session also covers W-9 procedures, TIN solicitation and verification through the IRS TIN Matching Program, B notices, backup withholding, payment card rules and documenting independent contractors.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

IRS changes to reporting, error correction and due dates can be confusing, and penalties for non-compliance have increased. You need to know which form fits each transaction, when to file and furnish it, what to include, how to correct mistakes and when backup withholding applies.

This session suits CPAs, EAs and attorneys, accounts payable, tax, HR and accounting staff, CFOs and controllers, purchasing managers and business owners.
