Information reporting on Form 1099 is one of the IRS's main tools for closing the tax gap, the taxes owed but not reported or paid. This 100-minute Form 1099 and W-9 webinar explains the rules for paying and reporting on independent contractors and ways to make this time-consuming task easier.
You'll learn how to set up new vendors, when to require a W-9 even if a vendor claims exemption, how to test W-9 details against IRS records for free, and how to avoid CP-2100 B-notices. The session covers who and what you pay that triggers reporting, the forms that document reportable status, and 1099, W-2 and ACA filing deadlines.
It also covers B-notice follow-up, TIN verification and best practices for filing.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
The IRS has long struggled with independent contractor compliance, and penalties for getting 1099 reporting wrong can be large. This session helps you document contractor relationships properly, keep records that hold up in an IRS third-party documentation and reporting audit, and build a defense against a 972-CG Notice of Proposed Penalty.
It suits CPAs, CFOs, controllers, tax and accounting professionals, tax attorneys, bank managers, compliance, information reporting, IT and risk managers, and auditors.
