Why You Should 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. For non-compliance, penalties have recently been increased. In  order to stay compliant, practitioners must know which form to use to report  specific transactions, when these forms must be filed or furnished to  recipients in order to be on-time, what information should be included 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.
