To avoid IRS penalties for Form 1099 errors, you need to show due diligence: a written plan, trained staff and monitoring to confirm they follow it. Because most 1099 errors the IRS finds start with poor W-9 procedures, the plan begins with getting the W-9 right.
This 60-minute Form 1099 due diligence training covers best-practice steps, the most common mismatch problems, how name and TIN mismatches are identified, and how IRS e-services can prevent them.
You'll also review W-9 solicitation requirements and the form step by step, which payments and companies require a 1099, the contents of a best practices manual, the role of a W-9 expert, the 2016 preparer penalty increases and how to keep records proving due diligence.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
IRS penalties cost money and staff time. This session helps you build a plan, train staff and monitor them so you can show the IRS you exercised due diligence.
