The TIR Answer Center

Imagine having a Virtual Tax Attorney in your own office providing year-round Form 1099 & 1042-S support whenever you need it

Your Job is Harder than Ever

A slew of new W-9/W-8/1099/1042-S compliance and filing rules roll out each and every year. Are you tired of trying to keep up with such rapid changes? Are you sick of spending more and more time hunting for answers to your 1099/1042-S questions, and not getting to the hundreds of other things you need to do?

Let Us Help You

We specialize in helping Accounts Payable and Tax professionals such as yourself handle 1099/1042-S compliance and reporting issues with confidence:

  • Earn up to 10 CPE's with your subscription!
  • Train new staff on W-8/W-9/1099/1042-S compliance and filing best practices.
  • Stay updated on ever changing 1099/1042-S information reporting and compliance laws, allowing you to file accurately with the IRS and each state in the union.
  • Boost your value with management in an era of relentless layoffs and cutbacks.
  • Learn tips to make your job easier - for instance, when new forms W-8/W-9/1099/1042-S/1095 are released each year we analyze them and their changes for our members.
  • Save time - no more hunting for hard-to-find answers - we do it for you in a guaranteed two business days or less.
  • Learn from our answers to not only your questions but those asked by your AP peers in corporate America, higher education, health care, insurance, retail, transportation, defense, and virtually every other industry. Join the best informed team of Accounts Payable and Tax professionals in the country.
  • We translate the Internal Revenue Code into everyday language while also citing to the actual laws - providing you the documentation needed to respond to a Proposed Penalty Notice or Audit.
  • Engage 24/7 with tax attorneys possessing decades of combined experience. No other service is currently available that employs actual tax attorneys providing plain English on-call answers to your 1099 compliance and filing questions.
  • Reduce anxiety regarding W-8/W-9 data collection, validation, and 1099/1042-S reportable payments made to independent contractors.
  • Enjoy flexible computer, smartphone, or tablet access to our attorneys and database.
  • Avoid mistakes that can lead to penalties and land you in hot water.
  • Cut your exposure to corrections, b-notices, and proposed penalty notices by over 50% - all while learning how to get auditors out of your hair.
  • Best of all - Your answers are in writing! That way, if you face contact from a regulator, audit, or penalty notice you have written guidance from a veteran tax attorney that you can use to show that you were attempting to perform your due diligence! Unlike answers to questions asked in webinars our TIR Answer Service allows you to support your arguments the only way IRS and State & Local level regulators care to see - with proof in writing!

TIR Answer Center Member Benefits Include

  • Ask the Expert: Our unique service where our tax attorneys will not only provide timely answers to your Form 1099 reporting questions but also refer you to applicable rules and regulations for further guidance at your request. Moreover, and unlike answers received during a webinar all of this is provided in writing! That way if you are audited or face a penalty notice you will have the support that can help prove you performed your due diligence!
  • Tax FAQ Database: During countless seminars, webinars, conferences and other speaking engagements our experts have answered a tremendous range of Form 1099 related questions. Your membership provides access to a library of several thousand answers our tax attorney's have provided to questions that have stymied your peers in the information reporting world. 
  • Free and Member Discounted Webinars: Attend up to five free webinars (depending upon your subscription package). In addition, enjoy 30% discounts off the rest of our 100-minute webinars, get guidance for attaining compliance with IRS and State Level Information Reporting laws and regulations, learn about recent changes in the law, and earn up to 10 NASBA (National Association of State Boards of Accountancy) approved Continuing Professional Education Credits (CPE's) all at the same time.
  • Member Discounted Customized In-House Seminars: Our tax attorneys will come to you, delivering a uniquely customized experience that can be found nowhere else (price of seminar includes customized seminar support materials packaged into easy to use training and compliance guidance made to fit your organization's needs). All quoted prices are discounted 10% for members buying seminars at a package price flat rate.
  • Tax tip of the week: Enjoy access to not only a weekly tax tip, but hundreds of past tax tips and training tools archived for our members.
  • In Depth Articles: This continually expanding database contains hundreds of original articles on a wide range of tax and compliance issues
  • Renewal Time Rewards for Member Loyalty: Typically subscription services include incentives to sign up, but then those product or service providers ignore their current subscribers at renewal time. We think this is wrong; after all why punish loyalty? As a result we uniquely reward our current members for their patronage. Meaning that when it comes time to renew we let our members do one of two things: either enjoy a repeat of the same offer that originally may have helped convince them to try out the TIR Answer Center or take advantage of a customized offer created just for them based upon their website usage over the prior year.
  • Discounted Consulting Service Hourly Rate: For general consulting services our hourly rate is marked down 20% (from $250 per hour for non-members to $200 per hour for current members).

Get quick, accurate, and thorough answers from our tax experts; as well as a full range of services for an unbeatable price.

If you would like to purchase more than one membership for your organization at a discounted group rate we can also be reached at: contactus@taxinformationreporting.com.

We look forward to answering your questions, and getting you started in terms of better understanding your Federal and State Level due diligence, compliance, withholding, and information reporting requirements.
