Weekly Review: Track and Get W-9's For Vendors

I posted this long before the current 1099 mess and it’s still relevant. Even though it looks like the onerous 1099 requirements may be going away (if only the Senate and the House will reconcile their versions and assuming the President signs it), there will still be requirements to file 1099 forms.

In the U.S., a 1099 form is used to provide information to the IRS on non-corporate vendors that are paid more than $600. The biggest problem with this process is getting a Tax ID number from these vendors, usually this involves a W-9 form. Often, companies don't get a Tax ID number when they setup the vendor and have to go back at year end and try to get one. Good luck making this happen in the real world.
The only way to make this process work smoothly is if the AP department enforces a strict, no pay policy without a W-9 on file. It's brutal but it does get W-9's in the door. Here's how Dynamics GP can facilitate this process by preventing payments to vendors without a Tax ID in GP.

  1. Setup every new vendor on hold by checking the Hold box next to the Vendor ID on the Vendor Maintenance window. (Cards->Payables->Vendor)
  2. Open the Options window on Vendor Maintenance with the options button. (Cards->Payables->Vendor, Option)
  3. In the Tax ID field of Vendor Maintenance Options enter "Need Tax ID"
  4. Enter the rest of the vendor info and save it.
Once a W-9 with an ID is received, enter the tax id in the tax id field and remove the hold.
Use a Smartlist at the time of each AP run to review vendors on hold due to missing tax ID information. This process also makes it very easy for AP personnel to deal with vendor inquiries. If the vendor's payments are on hold due to missing Tax ID information, tell them when they call. It's amazing how fast that information arrives.

Dynamics GP 2010 Vendor 1099 Details window |DynamicsCare

Amy Walsh tackles the Dynamics GP 2010 Vendor 1099 Details window over at DynamicsCare. On a related note, someone won a copy of the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 Cookbook at a recent GPUG event. Later that afternoon they wrote in to say that the book was already useful for them. They need to fix a 1099 issue and the answer was in there. Even if they had bought the book, it would have saved them consult dollars and time to get the issue fixed.

Validating SSN against High Group list from Social Security Administration for SQL Server

MS SQL tips has published SQL code for Validating SSN against High Group list from Social Security Administration for SQL Server.

In Dynamics GP we do lot’s of work with Social Security Numbers. Many folks are feeling a little SSN pain right now with 1099’s and W-2’s. The code from MSSQLTips can be used to validate that a SSN is in a valid range. This is usually a first step/minimal verification process. It doesn’t ensure that the SSN is valid or that it is issued to the name provided with that SSN but it does help detect data entry errors or the simplest levels of fraud.

Check those 1099s! You may have more than you bargained for!

Leslie Vail reminds us to Check those 1099s! You may have more than you bargained for!

It’s common to see vendors not marked at 1099 vendors when they should be. In Leslie scenario though, we see the opposite. If a vendor is marked as a 1099 vendor early in the year and the 1099 designation is removed, 1099 amounts are still present in their record and may still generate 1099’s. Check our her post for the details.
