Form 1042-S: Develop a Roadmap to Compliance


When: February 22, 2007 at 02:00PM ET (USA)

In conjunction with Balance Consulting!

Form 1042-S, used to report a foreign person’s U.S. source income subject to withholding, is one of the more complex forms you’ll encounter as an AP professional. The reporting details can be mind-boggling.

On top of this complexity, the Internal Revenue Service has officially begun a large enforcement effort involving withholding and reporting compliance for payments to nonresident aliens. 1042-S penalties can be severe – up to $250,000! And that’s just the reporting penalty. This amount does not include back-taxes, interest on the back-taxes, and penalties for late-deposit of the taxes.
