| Description: |
U.S. taxpayers making cross-border payments have been put on notice of tougher IRS scrutiny of Form 1042 (as well as forms 1042-S and 1042-T) compliance. With withholding tax compliance now a Tier 1 issue, companies are getting more IDRs pertaining to Form 1042-related FDAP income.
Most often, Form 1042-filing and withholding at a 30% rate are required for scenarios involving a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) and royalty, interest and other payments; or compensation for personal services performed by a foreign individual. Numerous withholding exemptions apply.
With the IRS raising the stakes for proper withholding on FDAP payments to non-resident entities already a complex area of the Internal Revenue Code, corporations and their advisors must familiarize themselves with 1042 requirements and anticipate auditors' information demands.
Listen as our panel of experienced federal tax advisors prepares you to evaluate whether Form 1042 and withholding is required, fine-tune your company's 1042 and W-8 compliance, and anticipate the demands of rigorous IRS exams.
Learning Objectives
The panel will examine these and other relevant topics:- Evaluating the need to withhold: Which payments to related parties trigger withholding obligations and which don't under the IRC?
- Sharpening compliance: Are your Form 1042s and W-8s being completed correctly? Are W-8s being issued to only qualifying foreign entities and individuals?
- Preparing for IRS audits: What aspects of FDAP payments are most vulnerable to the Service's more critical exams according to recent experience? What level of documentation is being required?
Following the speaker presentations, you'll have an opportunity to get answers to your specific questions during the interactive Q&A.
Upon completion of this webinar, you will have a thorough understanding of business situations involving cross-border payments that require U.S. withholding and filing of Form 1042, tips for accurate filing of 1042s and W-8s, and best practices for withholding tax audits in this area.
