1099 Filing Season Is Upon Us: What Your ClubNeeds To Know
As the calendar turns to the New Year, many Clubs are getting ready to
close their 2011 accounts. An added task this time of year is the
preparation of 1099s for vendors, interest payments to members, and
payments to former members for the redemption of their stock certificates.
A couple of the common forms of 1099s that are filed by Clubs are
discussed in this article.
1099-MISC
The most common form of 1099 issued by a Club is the 1099-MISC which is
completed for vendors that have been paid $600 or more in rent or services
during 2011. Rent payments should be reported in Box 1 of the 1099-MISC.
Non-employee compensation should be reported in Box 7. A payment
should be reported as non-employee compensation if the following
conditions are met:
The Club made the payment to someone who is not its employee
The Club made the payment for services in the course of its trade
or business
The Club made the payment to an individual, partnership, estate
or, in some cases, a corporation; and
The Club made payments to the payee totaling at least $600 during
the year.
Some important reminders are that all payments to attorneys in the course
of the Clubs trade or business should be reported on a 1099-MISC even if
the law firm is incorporated. Generally, payments to corporations are not
reported on a 1099-MISC. Limited liability companies (LLCs) are subject to
receiving 1099s as they are not corporations.
Payments to employees under a non-accountable reimbursement plan
(e.g., $1,500 a year for dry cleaning where no receipts are required) is not
reportable on a 1099, but should be reported as W-2 compensation for
those individuals.

In addition, if a Club offered credits to members for reduced dues or pro
shop credits because that member sponsored a new member to the Club,
the sponsoring member would be subject to a 1099-MISC if the credits
received were $600 or more. The amount would be reported in box 3
Other Income on the 1099-MISC.
1099-B
The new Form 1099-B requires the reporting of a members cost basis for
covered equities (membership certificate buybacks). A Club will now need
to provide a cost basis of membership certificates repurchased from
members due to resignation. The new form has several new boxes as well.
Box 1b Report date of acquisition
Box 3 Report cost or other basis
Box 6 Indicate for a "non-covered security" (note the differentverbiage on Copy B of the form)
Box 8 Report a description of the short or long-term gain
Failure to complete form 1099-B properly may subject the Club to
penalties.
All 1099s must be mailed to the recipients on or before January 31st
(with
the exception of the 1099-Bs which are due on or before February 15th
). A
copy of the 1099s and 1096s, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S.
Information Returns, must be submitted to the Internal Revenue Service(IRS) on or before February 29
th.
If the Club cannot show reasonable cause, failure to file a correct
information return by the due date may subject the Club to a penalty. The
penalty applies (1) if the Club fails to file timely; (2) if the Club fails to
include all required information; (3) if the Club fails to report a taxpayer
identification number; or (4) if the Club reports an incorrect taxpayer
identification number. The penalty is:
$30 per information return if the Club files correctly by March 31st
$60 per information return if the Club files correctly by August 1st
$100 per information return if the Club files after August 1st or
does not file required information returns
If any failure to file a return is due to intentional disregard of the filing, the
penalty is at least $250 per information return.

Clubs that file more than 250 information returns must file them
electronically. In order to get approval to file information returns
electronically, Form 4419, Application for Filing Information Returns
Electronically, must be filed at least 30 days before the due date of the
returns. There is a penalty of $100 per return for failure to file
electronically unless the Club can establish reasonable cause.
The IRS has introduced a new program this year called Taxpayer
Identification Number (TIN) Matching which can be useful in the 1099
preparation process. TIN Matching allows a Club to verify the TIN and
name combinations received from vendors with IRS records before
submitting the 1099s to the IRS. TIN Matching can be done at the IRS
websitewww.irs.gov
Clubs that use TIN Matching are anticipated to receive fewer backup
withholding and penalty notices.
