Overview

working hard to reduce the delinquent tax burden.

They know companies are becoming relatively compliant with 1099 reporting, but they also understand that companies and their advisors are less sure when it comes to identifying and performing backup withholding on NRAs. Collecting the tax due from NRAs working in the U.S. is an IRS Tier 1 audit issue. This tax burden is minimized when companies making payments to NRAs for both dependent and independent personal services properly withhold on these payments.

This course is essential for all professionals in industry, NGO’s, schools, public practice and government who are responsible for filing or overseeing information reporting compliance and related issues.

Experienced CGMA and businessman Miles Hutchinson will explain the best practices to help you ensure your W-9 information matches that of the IRS – before the 1099’s go out – even before making the first payment to a new vendor. He will show you how to handle the remaining B-Notices that sneak through in the most efficient manner and help ensure your company never has to pay a penalty for failure to comply with these burdensome regulatory requirements.
