Overview

Issuers of 1099 Forms can significantly reduce risk and streamline year-end reporting by implementing key best practices and procedural safeguards. This informative webinar will guide participants through effective strategies to ensure accuracy in vendor names and Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TINs), crucial components of 1099 compliance. While recent changes to de minimis error rules allow for some leniency in dollar amount discrepancies, inaccuracies in payee names or TINs are never considered minor and can lead to costly IRS penalties.

Attendees will gain a clear understanding of how to analyze Form W-9, respond to IRS mismatches, and implement internal controls to prevent reporting errors. Additionally, participants will learn how to navigate the IRS TIN matching system, from registration to submission and follow-up procedures for mismatched records.
