Last revised: August 28, 2024

The 2024 Master Guide to Form 1099 Compliance gives you practical and authoritative assistance for Form 1099 compliance and avoidance of penalty assessments – including the broad expansion of the federal requirement to file your organization’s Forms 1099 electronically, and the requirement to use the new March 2024 Form W-9 to obtain your payee’s reportable name, tax ID number and status for tax reporting purposes. 

The 2024 Master Guide covers the Form 1099 reporting issues and scenarios encountered all year long in Accounts Payable, highlighting the changes which impact your 2024 year-end reporting, and also guiding you through easy-to-understand explanations you’ll use throughout 2025 on the fundamental rules and common reportable payment situations in this area of tax compliance.
