There’s still time to catch errors before filing 1099s for 2008 with the IRS!

E-filing gives you a March 31 IRS deadline, and you can extend that to April 30 by simply using IRS Form 8809 to claim the automatic, no explanation required, 30-day extension.

Register now for this information-packed 90-minute program that will show you how to spot trouble areas, capture all reportable items, and avoid costly errors in complying with the IRS 1099 tax reporting rules. These rules impact your daily work, as well as your year-end reporting obligation.

Join us on March 3 for this special webinar—featuring renowned Form 1099 compliance advisor and author of the best-selling 2008 Master Guide to Form 1099 Compliance, Marianne Couch—and you’ll pick up practical information you can apply now to catch possible errors in your 1099s for 2008, AND information you should incorporate into daily procedures throughout 2009 to identify all reportable payments and backup withholding situations.

In just 90 minutes, you’ll learn the answers to frequently-asked questions like:

• Do you have to report payments to LLCs? Ltd? LLPs? PCs?
• Do you have to change a 1099 because the vendor’s accountant demands it?
• The vendor gave you an SSN and an EIN – which one do you use?
• Don’t credit card companies report payments made with your P-card and credit cards?
• Are reimbursements to a director … a director’s spouse … a job candidate … a consultant … reportable?
• When do you have to have a signed Form W-9 on file?
• Why are payments for software and other technology a trouble spot for 1099 reporting?
• What 1099-MISC changes will affect the payments you make in 2009? (There have already been three changes announced!)
