Did you know that the name on a check will not, in many cases, determine to whom you should send the 1099?

Did you also know that you may have reporting obligations to persons whose names are not on the check or payment?

This situation arises frequently in legal damage settlement situations that often include payments to the claimant’s attorney, but can also arise in other instances.

Attend this audio conference and learn how to:

• determine who really gets the 1099
• issue two (or more) 1099s for a single payment
• determine which legal damages payments are reportable and which are not
• identify middlemen and agents, and determine who, under the IRS regulations, is responsible for issuing the 1099 when more than one payor is involved in the transaction

This audio conference will arm you with the tools you need to convince your organization, payors, and attorneys that you are required to report certain payments and, as such, need certain information, such as the payee’s legal name and taxpayer identification number. Learn how to explain that, without this necessary information, you will be required to backup withhold and deposit with the U.S. Treasury 28% of the payment in federal tax.
