AP0YY-T-00156-23-I – 1099 – The Tattletale – 1 CE
So why are 1099s so important? Why is the IRS increasing the penalties for not filing them or not correcting them? Their singular objective is to let the IRS know how much was paid to someone by a small business. They tattle information to the IRS! We have to assist our small businesses in issuing those 1099 MISC but are you sure you know the rules? Don’t make mistakes that contribute to mismatched income for small business taxpayers. Let’s learn what those 1099 reporting rules are. You might be surprised to learn that some of those reporting rules have changed since you last looked.
Upon completion of this session, you will be able to: Identify the principal Forms 1099 needed for small business. Establish who is to receive 1099s and when backup withholding is required. Identify the various penalties associated with Form 1099 reporting. Cover the ‘real world issues involving compliance with Form 1099 reporting.
AP0YY-T-00153-23-I – Form 1099K Don’t Let it Bite You – 1 CE
New rules beginning 2023 for Form 1099-K information returns. The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA), P.L. 117-2, recently lowered the de minimis threshold for information reporting on third-party network transactions. This change will substantially increase the number of Forms 1099-K, Payment Card and Third-Party Network Transactions, required to be filed with the IRS and furnished to recipients by third-party settlement organizations and their electronic payment facilitators.
As tax preparers, we sometimes don’t pay any attention to Form 1099-K. We don’t even have to enter it on the tax return. This session will go over several areas that you should be checking, verifying, and accounting for information provided by the taxpayer. Due diligence requires you to put in place the procedures we will talk about and examples we will provide. As a bonus, we’re going to talk about a business taxpayer, identity theft and Form 1099-K. The completely unavoidable scenario – yet the fallout is real. Upon completion of this session, you will be able to: Have knowledge of the new thresholds for 2022, Understand the 1099K filing requirements under the American Rescue Plan Act, Determine how to report the income reported on the Form 1099K, Manage the 1099K if information is incorrect.
