The IRS released Form 1098-F Fines, Penalties, and Other Amounts for Tax Year 2019, only to later suspend this year's reporting requirement.1099 Pro is monitoring the status of draft Form 1098-F and is primed to include it in 1099 Pro and Corporate Suite software, as requisite.

Per the IRS Instructions for Form 1098-F, "A government or governmental entity and certain nongovernmental entities that exercise self-regulatory powers must file a separate Form 1098-F, Fines, Penalties, and Other Amounts, with the IRS for each fine, penalty, or other amount in excess of an amount determined by the Secretary that is paid in relation to any violation of law or investigation into potential violation of law, pursuant to a court order or agreement."

The IRS has increased penalties for late or incorrect reporting of 1099 information returns in Tax Year 2019. Penalties can now range from $50 to $550 per return. 1099 Pro always advises verifying Name / TIN combinations ahead of time, even if your Recipient list is incomplete, and performing due diligence before furnishing statements to recipients or reporting to the IRS. With 1099 Pro's 2019 1099 software, users can quickly generate a Bulk TIN Upload for processing by the 1099 Pro Service Bureau. The cost is only $135 per file and results are generally returned within 1-2 days. Furthermore, the results can be imported the 1099 Pro software and used to generate a W-9 mailing for soliciting correct Name / TIN combinations.

For those filers still reporting to the IRS on paper, be advised that the IRS updated the so-called "Rule of 250" in Tax Year 2018. Any filer who reports more than 250 returns, aggregated across all form types, must report ALL returns electronically. Previously, this "Rule of 250" was limited to each form type. Thus, a filer with 5 1098's and 250 1099-MISC forms could previously report the 1098's on paper (but no longer).
