The IRS actively targets accounts payable operations, and penalties for information return errors are indexed and rise every year. This 90-minute Form 1099 compliance webinar covers how to prepare, file and furnish forms correctly and on time.
You'll walk through Form 1099-MISC, reporting requirements for different payments and payees, filing and withholding rules and due dates, including accelerated ones. The session explains the safe harbor for de minimis dollar errors, common errors and corrections, TIN basics and documentation, TIN solicitation and B notices, the IRS TIN verification system and backup withholding.
It also covers penalty provisions, due diligence and reasonable cause.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
To stay compliant, you need to know which form fits each transaction, when it must be filed or furnished, what information to include, how to correct mistakes and whether a payee is subject to backup withholding. Due diligence can shield you from penalties even when a form has errors.
This session suits CFOs and controllers, accounts payable and accounting managers and staff, employers, owners, purchasing professionals, public accountants, CPAs and enrolled agents.
