On-demand Webinar: Basics of IRS Form 1042-S Reporting and Identifying Foreign Payees

Learn how IRS Form 1042-S reporting differs from Form 1099 reporting, why tax withholding is so frequently required from payments to foreign vendors, and the “best practice” procedures which can protect your organization from assessment of significant monetary penalties for failures in 1042-S and foreign-payee withholding compliance.

• How Form 1042-S reporting differs from Form 1099 reporting
• How the 30% tax withholding rate applies to payments you’re making
• Why TINs (tax ID numbers) are not required for Form 1042-S reporting
• Why the payee's provision of a U.S. TIN, unlike with 1099 reporting, will still require 30% federal income tax withholding on payments of U.S. source income
• Form 1042-S due dates
• IRS Form 1042 annual return also required from 1042-S filers

Learning objectives: Identify payments commonly made from Accounts Payable to foreign vendors subject to tax withholding and Form 1042-S filing
