Overview

1099 reporting errors involving missing or incorrect Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TINs) can create significant compliance challenges for businesses. When the IRS identifies an incorrect name/TIN combination, payers may receive a CP-2100 or CP-2100A notice and may be required to take action, including issuing a B Notice and beginning backup withholding.

This session provides a practical understanding of backup withholding requirements and B Notice procedures, helping accounting, payroll, accounts payable, tax, and finance professionals recognize common 1099 errors, respond appropriately to IRS notices, and avoid unnecessary penalties.

Participants will also explore how to handle missing TINs, calculate and report backup withholding, manage B Notice requirements, and properly report withheld amounts on Form 945 and applicable 1099 forms.
