Key Take Away :
How to establish and use procedures that verify vendor TIN and name matching to streamline year end processing and minimize errors when issuing and filing vendor 1099 Forms.
Overview :
Issuers of 1099 Forms can adopt best practices and procedures that streamline the year end process and provide assurance that 1099s are correct, at least so far as vendor names and TINs are concerned. While certain errors in reporting dollar amounts are considered “inconsequential” under new de minimis error rules, errors in the payee name or TIN are never considered inconsequential and can result in penalties.
Why Should You Attend :
Year end is a busy time for Accounts Payable. With the acceleration of the due date for certain 1099 Forms and the increased penalties, it is more important than ever to prepare information returns correctly and file them on time.
Establishment and implementation of procedures providing for TIN solicitation, TIN verification, response to IRS notices and backup withholding are keys to efficient processing, avoiding errors or missing information, and establishing reasonable cause for penalty avoidance when errors occur.
Areas Covered In This Webinar :
This webinar will discuss
The IRS matching process
How the IRS matches the names and tax ID numbers on information returns such as Form 1099 to determine if they are correct. It also uses this process to notify issuers of incorrect names and numbers and to propose and assess penalties for errors to issuers.
Understanding the process and registering for and using the IRS TIN verification service is a best practice for preventing mismatches and penalties and to establish reasonable cause when mismatches occur.
Penalties
Penalties for errors on information returns, including 1099 Forms have increased for 2016 returns filed in 2017.
