Description

Payments to independent contractors will no longer be reported on Form 1099-MISC, Box 7. Instead, tax year 2020 will revive an old Form 1099-NEC to separate these payments from other miscellaneous forms of income. In recent years, independent contractor payments for self-employed individuals and the categorization of workers as independent contractors versus employees have been targeted by both the IRS and state level taxing authorities. The reintroduction of Form 1099-NEC hopes to better define these payments to avoid later misreporting and possible miscategorization.

This webinar will introduce Form 1099-NEC and teach practitioners how to differentiate between income reportable on Form 1099-MISC vs. 1099-NEC. The key differences between employees receiving W-2 income and independent contractors receiving 1099-NEC income will also be highlighted. Practitioners will learn how to complete and submit the Form 1099-NEC and how toreflect income reported on Form 1099-NEC on taxpayers’ returns as well as penalties associated with the form and how to avoid being subject to various penalties.
