Faculty

Mr. Prendergast is part of the firm's Information Reporting and Withholding practice. He has considerable experience advising financial institutions on information reporting and withholding related issues arising out of FATCA, the Non-Resident Alien withholding (chapter 3 of the Internal Revenue Code), and the Backup withholding (chapter 61 and 3406 of the IRC). He also advises clients with respect to non-U.S. reporting regimes such as, the U.K. provisions commonly known as the Crown Dependencies & Overseas Treasuries (CDOT), and the Standard for Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information in Tax Matters (commonly referred to as the Common Reporting Standard, or CRS). Previously, he held an operational tax position at a global custodian, The Bank of New York Mellon, where he played a role in documentation validation, withholding and remittance, and the annual reporting process.

Mr. Khan has extensive experience with information reporting and withholding tax documentation, reporting, and project management. He specializes in both the regulatory and compliance aspects of global operational taxes, such as U.S. qualified intermediary, FATCA, and CRS rules, with an emphasis on the practical and procedural requirements of back-office tax operations. Mr. Kahn has considerable experience in business process re engineering, automation developments, and controls design for global operational tax systems. He has assisted some of the world’s largest banks and custodians to understand the U.S. FATCA and AEOI regimes and worked with these financial institutions to develop processes and procedures to help ensure compliance. Mr. Kahn also has experience with IT systems integration, architecture design, and existing system enhancements. This includes interfacing with IT developers, database administrators, and systems administrators in writing business requirement documents, functional specification outlines, UAT test scripts, and resolving testing and end-user issues.
Description
There are numerous types of reporting requirements related to Forms 1099s. The reporting thresholds and due dates vary by the type of Form 1099 issued. For example, payee statements are due to recipients as early as January 31. The due date for submitting the same Form to the IRS is March 31 unless you are not filing electronically, then the due date is March 1. Keeping up with the numerous requirements of filing these required forms can be daunting.
Not filing, late filing, or incomplete forms can draw penalties between $50-$550 per Form up to an annual maximum of $3,339,000 for large filers. If the Forms are intentionally not filed, there is no annual maximum penalty.
There are also recent changes in the associated guidance that tax advisers should be aware of, such as:
- Reporting thresholds reduction for certain types of filers issuing Forms 1099-K
- Form W-9 Requirement for Non-Financial Payments
- Form 1099-NEC reporting requirements (direct state filings)
Listen as our panel of information reporting subject matter specialists explains the Internal Revenue Service's Form 1099 reporting requirements for those required to prepare and submit these forms.
