WHY
SHOULD YOU ATTEND
The changes in reporting requirements can be
confusing and the IRS has recently made changes to reporting, error correction,
and filing due date requirements. Accounts payable professionals, managers, and
withholding agents need to be aware of the changes in order to avoid
non-compliance and penalties. Penalties for non-compliance have recently been
increased. In order to stay compliant, practitioners must know which form to
use to report specific transactions, when forms must be filed or furnished to
recipients in order to be on-time, which information to include and how to make
sure it is accurate, how and when to make corrections, how to avoid or mitigate
errors, whether a particular payee is subject to backup withholding, or
transaction reporting, and the due diligence procedures that shield an issuer
from penalties even when the forms contain incorrect information
