W-2s and 1099s Due Monday!

Written by Kristine · January 31, 2009

irsIf you have employees or independent contractors, you only have a few days left to prepare and issue W-2s and 1099s for them.  January 31 is the official due date, but since it falls on a Saturday this year, you have until Monday February 2 to complete your forms.

Just to be clear, employees get Form W-2, independent contractors get Form 1099-MISC reporting their income.

Since most of the people visiting this blog are more likely to have independent contractors than employees, we will focus on the Form 1099-MISC for the rest of this post.

Do you need to prepare Form 1099 for anyone in your business?

Basically, you must prepare a 1099 if you paid $600 or more to an individual to perform services for you.  Some examples would be web designers, eBay assistants, virtual assistants, affiliates, accountants, etc.

Senate Finance Committee Approves Tax Cuts

Written by Kristine · January 30, 2009

Earlier this week the Senate Finance Committee approved approximately $522 Billion in tax cuts and incentives in an effort to stimulate the US economy.

The bill includes over $340 Billion in tax cuts for families and businesses, with a special focus on creating jobs and helping unemployed Americans keep their health care coverage and find new jobs.  States who are struggling will also be helped by this bill.

Also included in the bill is a much-needed AMT patch, which should protect people from the alternative minimum tax this year.

This bill has not passed yet… the House and Senate each have their own version and will need to hammer out their differences before it can be made into law.

You can read more about the bill here.

1099s Delayed This Tax Season

Written by Kristine · January 20, 2009

The IRS has announced that brokers may furnish certain composite annual tax reporting statements by Feb. 17, 2009, without penalty.

The notice provides that the new February due date established under a recent law change to provide Form 1099-B information to customers also applies to other tax information customarily reported to customers with Form 1099-B statements, such as interest and dividends.  This means that customers can expect to receive Forms 1099-INT and 1099-DIV late as well.

If you normally receive Forms 1099-INT, 1099-DIV and 1099-B for investment income and transactions, be aware that these forms will arrive later than usual this year.  Some clients have reported that they have received letters from financial institutions saying not to expect these forms until the end of February (although the official due date is February 17).

As a tax preparer, I’m not particularly happy about this change, but on the bright side, I’m hoping the extended deadline will cut down on the number of corrected 1099s issued this tax season.
