Overview:
The regulatory landscape for Form 1099 compliance keeps shifting as Congress attempts to balance jobs growth with narrowing the tax gap and the IRS attempts to address fraud and identity theft issues involving information returns including 1099 Forms. Over the past decade changes were written into the law and regulations, some have been implemented, some were repealed, but all creating compliance challenges for businesses. To prevent fraud involving information returns and false refund claims, the filing deadlines for certain 1099-MISC Forms has been moved up. The IRS recognized the potential for an increase in the number of errors on filed 1099 Forms and has revised the de minimus error rules.
While the changes apply to most information returns, Form 1099-MISC presents a special set of reporting problems and deserves special discussion. It is used to report a number of types of payments with different requirements for each type of payment.
Why Should You Attend:
The changes in reporting requirements can be confusing and the IRS has recently made changes to reporting, error correction, and filing due date requirements. Accounts payable professionals, managers, and withholding agents need to be aware of the changes in order to avoid non-compliance and penalties. Penalties for non-compliance have recently been increased.
