Introduction to Year-End Tax Strategies
>>Checklist for Payroll & 1099 Reporting
Be sure your payroll amounts agree on all reports
(Federal and State) before you send them in. If the amounts do
not agree, you will be notified and will have to correct the situation (which
takes much longer than doing it right the first time). We have a
reconciling worksheet available to help you with this step.
Remember to file 1099’s. A Form
1099-Misc should be sent to all
attorneys and each non-corporate contractor/vendor to whom you paid $600 or
more for the year. Other Form 1099’s
may be necessary if you pay rent, interest or
dividends.
If you need help preparing payroll reports, W2s
and/or Form 1099’s, please let Sue Johnson or Becky Belknap in our
office know in early January.
Note: Key changes exist for 2007 W2s! Make sure your
payroll software is updated for these new form changes.
