Topic Background:-

For years the IRS has struggled with the independent contractor and tax collection. In assessing opportunities to close the tax gap (taxes due but not reported or paid), one of the greatest opportunities comes from expanding the information reporting on taxpayers by payors – 1099. This time-consuming reporting obligation can be streamlined in a number of ways.

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 the 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. This webinar will cover the rules requiring W-9 documentation and 1099 reporting for various types of Forms 1099 including interest, dividends, PATR, real estate transactions, and the famous Form 1099-Misc. Learn how to establish an 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 an audit. Avoid the onerous penalties for noncompliance and build the best defense against the 972-CG Notice of Proposed Penalty Letter.
