Form 1099 Update 2023: Latest Forms, Rules and Reporting Regulations

This 90-minute Form 1099 webinar covers the reporting requirements for Forms 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC, with a focus on preparing the forms correctly. It reviews the changes made to the 2023 forms and the electronic filing rules for that period, including lower e-file thresholds and IRIS, the IRS Information Return Intake System, an online portal for filing 1099-series forms without special software.
