Tax Reporting Entities

Tax Reporting Entities

In the United States we must report to the Internal Revenue Service certain type of payments we make to 1099 reportable suppliers. During the supplier setup We can make supplier as federally reportable. When we enter invoices for that supplier, we classify invoice distributions by 1099 misc type using the Income Tax type field. At the year end, we can then report, in standard formats of accumulated 1099 payment information to the Internal Revenue Service, other tax agencies and to our suppliers.
For each reporting entity, we assign one or more balancing segment values, when we submit 1099 reports for a tax entity, Payable sums up the paid invoice distributions that have these balancing segment values in their accounts (Eg- Company, Fund balancing segments)to create and report on 1099 supplier payments.


If we want to use combined federal and state 1099 filing, and want to produce K-Records and B-Records, we have to enable the combined filing program in payables option.
If we use combined federal and state filing, then we have define tax regions.
Define tax reporting entities.
