The IRS assesses tax against miscellaneous income. The IRS requires you, dependent upon certain conditions, to withhold or report the payments you make to suppliers for services rendered. To report payments, you must provide the IRS with 1099 information on various media, usually hard copy forms or magnetic tape. The IRS strictly regulates how you provide this information. Withholding requires that you deduct a percentage of the payments you make to suppliers. e5 AP supports reporting and withholding of 1099 information.
You set up 1099 tax processing by activating controls on screens within e5 AP.
The following table lists the fields applicable to 1099 processing and the screens on which they are located. Ensure that you enter the following fields according to your company's specifications.
Screen | Fields |
AP Company Controls screen MGAB, W/Hold format. | Tax Authority Supplier Tax Rate No. of Days to Tax Prompt Tax Contractor Number Tax Contractor Name Withholding Payment Analysis |
AP Company Controls screen MGAB, Payment Anal format. | Transmitter Control Code |
Supplier Purchasing Controls screen MPBD, 1099 W/hold format. | WHO Eligibility Indicator Tax Identification Number 1099 Reportable 1099 Filing Name |
Payment Analysis Codes screen MPAL. | PA Code Reportable Reporting Threshold IRS 1099 Code |
Supplier Purchasing Controls screen MPBD, Payment Analysis format. | Payment Analysis In Use Payment Analysis Code Required Default Code |
Supplier AP Controls screen MPBE, Supplier format. | Invoice Payment |
While you enter transactions in e5 AP, you can enter a payment analysis code for each transaction line. Depending upon how you set up the payment analysis code, the system does or does not report the transaction line amount on the 1099 reports.
If you set up a default payment analysis code for a supplier, you can override the code during data entry.
You can change the line level payment analysis code after you enter a transaction using the Payment Analysis Amendment option. Refer to Payment Analysis Transaction Detail Amendment (Header) screen MGDL for information on how to change a line's payment analysis code. You can use this same screen to change a line's payment analysis code after you pay a supplier.
However, if you change the company or supplier parameters to begin withholding money from the payments you make to a supplier, the system does not retroactively withhold amounts from transactions that you have already paid.
