There are dozens of instances where AP will cut a check to an employee—expense reimbursements, travel advances, and fringe benefits to name just a few.

But, just because a payment comes from a system outside of Payroll does not mean it isn’t reportable on the employee’s Form W-2.

How can you tell which payments are reportable, how do you know, and if payments are reportable, how can you tell if a W-2 or 1099 is required?

Find out June 10th at this interactive webinar that explores the vital Accounts Payable interface with Payroll when it comes to tax reporting of payments to employees.

Attend this interactive program, featuring tax compliance expert Marianne Couch, and you’ll learn about the impact of the “Accountable Plan” tax regulations on expense reimbursements and travel advances. You’ll also learn how fringe benefits—usually paid from AP—may be deemed to be additional income to employees and how the IRS expects the cost or fair market value of these fringes to be reported.

In just 90 minutes, Ms. Couch will answer these questions (and more) in her usual straightforward and easy-to-understand manner.

Remember, just because a payment comes from a system outside of Payroll does not mean it isn’t reportable on the employee’s Form W-2.

Sign up today, and invite your colleagues—your single paid registration entitles you to as many participants as you wish in a conference room setting—and get answers to frequently asked questions, including:

• What does the IRS consider to be a fringe benefit that is reportable? What’s not reportable?
• What are the risks if AP is reporting payments to employees on Form 1099, when regulations say they belong Form W-2?
• Is it ever correct to issue a Form 1099-MISC to an employee?
• Why is a 1099-MISC to a former employee a red flag to an IRS auditor?
• What is needed to keep an expense reimbursement from being reportable income to an employee?
