For the 2021 tax year, the IRS will continue to use the relatively new information return – Form 1099-NEC – and enforce its filing requirement. Traditionally, businesses have used one form – Form 1099-MISC – to report payments made to nonemployees. Now, you may need to use both forms and follow their unique specifications. The renewed 1099-NEC form separates out nonemployee compensation from other sections of the 1099-MISC and imposes a filing deadline of January 31, 2022.

This virtual conference will cover filing due dates, penalties for late filed and late furnished returns. It will also discuss the various ways to prevent and mitigate penalties including the safe harbor provisions for de minimis dollar amount errors and the important “reasonable cause” defence. It will also cover steps that can be taken to prevent penalties such as taxpayer identification number verification, backup withholding, handling B-notices, filing procedures and correcting errors.

The IRS is actively targeting enforcement measures on accounts payable operations. Penalties for non-compliance are now indexed and increase each year. It is more important than ever that 1099 Forms be prepared correctly, filed and furnished timely, and that filers perform due diligence procedures to avoid or mitigate penalties.

Why Should You Attend:

What are the rules regarding paying and IRS reporting on Independent Contractors?  How do I avoid the IRS CP-2100 (B-Notices)? What if my vendor claims exemption; must I obtain a W-9 anyway?  What are the best practices? How can I minimize risk of improper exemption claims by my vendors? Get the answers to these and related questions to reduce your risk of huge penalties from the IRS.

Learn the rules requiring W-9 documentation and 1099 reporting.  Learn how to establish the independent contractor relationship with the right documentation. Understand the rules and keep your company in compliance.  Ensure that your records will stand the scrutiny of an IRS 3rd Party Documentation and Reporting audit.  Avoid the onerous penalties for noncompliance and build the best defense against the 972-CG Notice of Proposed Penalty Letter.
