Obtaining Form W-9 is the first step in assuring compliance with information return reporting requirements. The Form provides information required to determine if the business needs to file an information return as well as the correct name and tax ID number (TIN) to use when a return is required.
The establishment and implementation of procedures that provide for TIN solicitation, TIN verification, response to IRS notices, and backup withholding are keys to efficient processing, avoiding errors or missing information, and establishing reasonable cause for penalty avoidance when errors occur.
This webinar discusses how to establish procedures and best practices, including name/TIN verification, that avoid situations that can lead to penalties or when such situations occur, establish the reasonable cause defense that allows your company to avoid penalties.
