Federal and State agencies continuously review tax regulations, tighten gaps and identify areas that require new or modified regulations to improve tax revenue and collection. The agencies also ensure regulations are current with methods of payment. This includes: withholding tax deposits; information reporting to requiring agencies; the enforcement of regulatory laws; accessing and collecting owed tax, penalties, and interest; and withholding revenue when U.S. organizations fail to comply with the regulations.

Regulatory tax compliance regulations related to payments, property, purchases and wages are governed by federal law, and in most cases, state laws. This myriad of regulations requires U.S. organizations to comply with the laws or be subject to penalties and financial liabilities.

To eliminate and reduce the risks from non-compliance, it is prudent for staff resources to be educated on the federal and state regulations applicable to their job. Additionally, U.S. organizations must have current policies and procedures in place to address processing requirements for the events subject to these regulations.

The breadth of tax and revenue collection risks associated with failure to comply are enormous. If Federal or State agencies discover compliance failures your organization can suffer excessive penalties, fines and financial liability.

Your best defense is to ensure that your staff stays abreast of new and changing regulations and incorporate compliance processes and procedures throughout all business units.

The IRSC Regulatory Tax and Accounting Conference is your best resource to fulfill training and educational needs!

OVERVIEWTax, legal, and accounting

professionals are continuously facing the difficult responsibility of staying abreast of ever-

changing Federal and State regulations and the impact of the procedures

and responsibilities on their payment departments.

I found the conference to be extremely beneficial to myself and our company. I’ve been able to put procedures in place to ensure IRS compliance with maintaining vendor records in the event we go through a 1099 audit. We are also using the 1099 TIN Check on every vendor which we find helps us tremendously in avoiding B notices. Jeanne Anthone

2 2014 IRSCompliance Regulatory Tax and Accounts Payable Conference

Being new to Information Reporting, this conference enabled me to gain a better understanding and connect some dots to what happens during my work day. Diane Lovett, Aetna

OVERVIEW

Increased Legislative ChangesThe IRS and state agencies have been very active with new and changing regulations intended to close “tax gaps” and increase revenue. Much of the increased legislative activity has been due to revenue deficits. To increase their revenue stream, the agencies are utilizing improved tools and methods to identify non-compliance, increasing penalties, enforcement, audits, legislating new reporting requirements and investigating new technology impact on the reporting information and the collection of taxes.

Legislative activity from Congress, the White House, IRS, U.S. Treasury and the majority of state agencies over the years has heightened. The current administration, the state of the economy and the ever rising deficits will certainly bring more changes.

The latest major IRS regulation – FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) which is now in effect and increases the requirements for documenting foreign payees (individuals and entities), validation, mandatory withholding, and expands to documenting U.S. payees. FATCA will impact ANY area within U.S. organizations that issues payments. Staff who onboard new payees or re-certify existing payees must know proper procedures and have a thorough understanding of the current and modified reporting regulations and the correct withholding on payments issued to U.S. payees, Foreign Payees and Foreign entities.

Federal and state agencies have made these areas a priority for tax and revenue collection:

� Information reporting,

� U.S. and foreign payment compliance,

� Documenting U.S. and foreign payees,

� FATCA withholding,

� Sales and use tax,

� Withholding tax,

� Unclaimed property,

� Assessment and collection of penalties,

� Employment and unemployment tax issues.

Prerequisites for the conference

There are no prerequisites or advanced preparations needed. This conference is applicable to all levels – beginners, intermediates and advanced. Orientation and workshop topics in regulatory tax, accounting, employment/unemployment, state abandoned property (escheatment), and accounts payable are available to all attendees. Professionals may attend sessions for legal, tax and accounting fields of study.

Form 1099-MISC Information Reporting and Withholding Certification (CMISC)

Compliant processing of miscellaneous payments is invaluable to your employer and your career.

The majority of U.S. Organizations issue payments of reportable income in the course of their trade or business. There are many factors to be aware of in order to execute payments that are compliant with IRS regulations. Get CMISC certified to receive the training you need and validate your knowledge.

They include:

� Non-employee compensation

� Contractors and providers

� Legal Services

� Medical Services

� Honorariums

� Fees

� Commissions

� Rents

� Royalties

� Attorney Settlements

� Awards and Prizes

� Consignment Resale

Form 1042-S Information Reporting and Withholding Certification (CNRA)

With the exception of payments for goods and materials or for services provided outside of the U.S., almost all other payments issued to a foreign payee are reportable and may require Federal withholding. If you manage foreign individual or entity payments, you must know the following:

� Identifying and documenting the payee

� What type of documentation is required and acceptable

� Validating documents

� Classify properly as a foreign or U.S. payee

� Determine and find the correct foreign treaty rates

� Withholding under treaty or non-treaty rates

� Understanding and applying FATCA rules

� Applying FATCA Withholding

� Which Form W-8 document is required

� Reporting Form 1042-S Payments

� Penalties for Form 1042-S errors

� Filing the Annual 1042

Federal and State Information Reporting and Withholding Certification (CIRS)

Getting CIRS certified takes you through the process to prepare you with the knowledge you need to comply with new and changing regulations.

There are many complex State regula-tions on mandatory, backup, cross-state withholding and direct information reporting. States have been comparing information obtained from the IRS and implement penalty programs which they enforce. Several states have passed legislation to piggyback on new IRS laws, increasing penalties and financial risks to companies. The IRS Penalty Program can be up to $100 per record for missing and/or invalid TIN.

Get CIRS certified to receive the training you need to prevent penalties and understand complex and changing regulations.

� Required documentation for U.S. and Foreign Payees

� What is reportable

� When you must withhold tax

� Filing requirements

� Employee vs Contractor

� State Reporting
