Update Sage 100 to Handle New IRS Changes to 1099 Reporting

Does your company issue 1099s for contractors and are you up to speed with the new 1099-NEC form introduced by the IRS?  Beginning this Year-End 2020, non-employee compensation is no longer being reported with the 1099-MISC form. 1099-NEC has replaced 1099-MISC and is now the correct form for non-employee compensation for independent contractors.

Instructions for the new 1099 form can be found at https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i1099msc.

As also outlined on the IRS website, this form is due January 31. With this accelerated deadline, you will have to move fast to ensure year-end tax filing compliance! Luckily, certain versions of Sage 100 have been updated with the new form and will help you fulfill the new requirements.
