Audio Conferences

Have you updated your year-end reporting procedures based on the latest IRS regulations? No? Well, it's time to get going!

Remember, just because you got it right in 2007 does not mean you're fully prepared for 2008.

Take the time now to make sure your 1099 program is compliant. Join IOMA and Marianne Couch, the industry-recognized leader in 1099 training, for this must-attend audio conference that will delve into the trickier details of 1099 reporting.

This special 90-minute presentation goes beyond the basic 1099 reporting requirements so that you can explain and support your reporting and withholding decisions with confidence.

Specifically, you’ll learn how to:

• Deal with multi-party transactions
• Learn the reporting requirements for payments other than those reported on the Form 1099-MISC, such as the 1099-INT (interest), 1099-C (cancellation of indebtedness), and 1099-S (real estate transactions, easements, and long-term leases)
• Where to find the regulations to support your reporting position
• Handle attorneys and explain the TIN solicitation and backup withholding requirements to them
• Register for and use the IRS’s TIN matching system to save your organization from IRS reporting penalties
• Identify your non-U.S. payees, and explain the U.S. reporting requirements to them in order to obtain the proper documentation and avoid withholding 30% of the payment in U.S. tax.

Plus, get all your toughest questions answered in the Q&A session following the discussion. AND, you can invite your entire department—for one low price!
