Increase your understanding of the current Form 1099 regulations and be prepared for revised 2018 IRS filing deadlines.

Today's employers must be aware of the complex compliance issues relating to the proper classification of employees versus independent contractors. The IRS plans to flag employers for audit should they issue both a 1099 and W-2 to the same identification number.
