Learning Objectives:

The IRS has recently changed the reporting, error-correcting, and filing due dates, which can make the new reporting obligations difficult. To prevent non-compliance and fines, account payable specialists, managers, and withholding agents need to be aware of the changes. Penalties for non-compliance have lately been raised. Practitioners must be aware of which form to use to report specific transactions, when to file or provide recipients with these forms to be on-time, what information to include and how to ensure accuracy, when to make corrections, how to prevent or mitigate errors, whether a specific payee is subject to backup withholding or transaction reporting, and the due diligence procedures that protect an issuer from penalties in order to remain compliant.
