Description
The IRS is heavily focusing its nonresident alien tax regulations compliance audits on accounts payable operations. If your organization outsources work to an overseas contractor, if you bring a foreign contractor in for short-term work, or if you are asked to pay a foreign consultant’s invoice, this one-day seminar will help you to make sense of the regulations surrounding payments to foreign vendors.
Agenda:-
- Learn to distinguish a 1042-S reportable non-resident alien payee from a 1099 reportable resident alien or U.S. citizen payee.
- Get tips on recognizing how to handle visas, green cards, and using the IRS substantial presence test to identify when a payment should be 1042-S or 1099 reportable.
- Discover why where the service is performed is so important to determine your 1042-S reporting responsibilities.
- Learn how to use Forms W-8 and 8233 to validate payee claims for treaty benefits.
- Address rules for 1042-S tax withholding and how to report it.
This class is right for you if:

- You are concerned that your organization does not have appropriate policies in place for identifying when W-8 or 1042-S reporting situations arise.
