This 90-minute Form 1099 compliance webinar explains what must be reported on Forms 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC and walks through preparing each form correctly. It reviews updates to the forms and how electronic filing methods and requirements are changing.
You'll compare filing options, including the IRIS (Information Return Intake System) portal, the FIRE (Filing Information Returns Electronically) system, third-party filing and paper returns. The session explains reporting rules for different types of payments and payees, filing and withholding requirements, and reporting guidelines.
It also covers due dates, penalties for late filed and late furnished returns, penalty exceptions, how to show reasonable cause for penalty abatement, and best practices to prevent and reduce penalties.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
The IRS is adding technology and staff to target information reporting compliance, and penalties are indexed and rise each year. Final regulations also cut the e-filing threshold for information returns from 250 forms to 10. Filers need to know which form to use, deadlines, how to make corrections, when backup withholding applies and which due diligence steps shield them from penalties.
It suits CFOs, controllers, AP and accounting staff, purchasing managers, business owners, CPAs and enrolled agents.
