Form 1099 Due Diligence for Withholding Income Tax

Form 1099 tax compliance throughout the year requires withholding federal income tax from certain 1099 reportable payments in certain fact situations.  The withholding rate is 24% and that amount becomes a tax liability of the payer if this “backup withholding” was required but the payment slipped through without withholding.  Join this webinar for a thorough discussion of the regulatory requirements for obtaining the reportable name and TIN of vendors, the fact situations requiring 24% backup withholding, and how to mitigate risk of tax liability with due diligence procedures. 

Topics include:

• Required solicitation of taxpayer identification numbers
• The two fact situations in AP which require 24% backup withholding from payments 
• Time schedule for federal tax deposit of the withheld tax 
• Coding in the federal EFTPS deposit system 
• Reporting the withheld tax on the payee’s Form 1099
• Reporting the withheld tax on your organization’s annual Form 945 to the IRS 

Learning objectives:

• Correctly solicit the tax ID number of Form 1099 reportable payees 
• Correctly identify payees whose payments require 24% federal backup withholding 
• Prepare correct IRS Forms 1099 and 945 showing backup withheld tax amounts
