Effectively Handling CP-2100 Letters

Description

CP-2100 letters come to your business from the IRS. These letters notify you that the social security number you put on 1099 doesn’t match what’s in the IRS’s system. For example, the social security number of a contractor. When your business receives such a letter, you must take action by sending a “B Notice” to the other party. This webinar will discuss how you can take steps to avoid CP-2100 letters, to begin with, through the IRS’s “TIN Matching” program and proper usage of Form W-9. We’ll cover more about B Notices in this program, and cover backup withholding.
