Many companies are fairly compliant with 1099 reporting but less sure about identifying nonresident aliens (NRAs) and withholding on their payments. The IRS treats collection of tax owed by NRAs working in the U.S. as a Tier 1 audit issue, and proper withholding on payments for dependent and independent personal services keeps that exposure down.
This 90-minute webinar on nonresident alien reporting with Forms 1042-S and W-8 covers how to tell whether NRAs are working for you, the five variations of Form W-8 including the W-8BEN-E, and which form to give each payee.
You'll also learn how NRAs must support exemption claims, how to use tax treaties, how to make timely deposits, and how to file Form 1042-S and the annual withholding tax return.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Getting NRA withholding wrong can lead to penalties for under-withholding and failure to report. This session helps you bring your company, institution or clients into compliance with the 30% withholding requirement and build standardized, well-documented processes.
It suits CFOs, controllers, compliance, accounting, AP and tax managers, and staff and advisors who work with Forms W-8 and 1042-S in industry, NGOs, schools, public practice and government.
