This course will provide tax advisers with a thorough and practical guide to preparing Form 1042-S, Foreign Person's U.S. Source Income Subject to Withholding. The panel will incorporate recent form revisions. The webinar will also review common mistakes and offer ways to reduce IRS scrutiny and mitigate late-filing or non-filing penalties.

Description

Withholding agents who pay amounts subject to withholding tax, such as interest, dividends, and fees to foreign persons, must report the U.S.-sourced amounts on IRS Form 1042-S. Certain FDAP (fixed, determinable, annual, or periodic income) payments are reportable regardless of withholding. Tax professionals must be aware of nonresident aliens' (NRAs) withholding requirements and the proper 1042-S reporting requirements for various income classes.

The IRS Foreign Payments Practice, a practice within the IRS Large Business and International Business Compliance division is devoted to enforcing withholding and remittance of these required payments. Failure to accurately report amounts paid to NRAs can lead to stiff penalties for the withholding agent, including secondary liability for the withholding tax, interest, and various penalties.

Listen as our panel reviews the latest federal rules and offers guidance for a tax professional's completion of Form 1042-S, including withholding and filing requirements.
