Our next National Phone Forum, Correcting Employment Taxes in 2009 is scheduled for December 9, 2008 and we hope you’ll be able to join us. Details and registration instructions are below.

This topic is particularly important because of the many issues raised by tax professionals and IRS’s actions to address them.

We choose the topics for our phone forums based on input from stakeholders like you. We use your feedback, comments and complaints to identify issues that are important to our audience and use the phone forums as one avenue to address them. 

During the phone forums, you’re more than an observer – you’re a participant. A question and answer session follows each presentation. If your questions aren’t answered on the spot – sometimes we need to do some research – we follow up with a consolidated Q&A by e-mail. 

And it doesn't end there.  We use the Q&A for training purposes, to help our field staff respond when they encounter situations similar to yours. We also use them to determine whether we need to enhance the content on our Web site, IRS.gov, or clarify something in our tax forms and publications.

Your participation matters. We sincerely hope you will join us!

National Phone Forum

Correcting Employment Taxes in 2009

Date:  December 9, 2008
Cost: FREE
Location: The convenience of your home or office

This IRS phone forum is for

•                Tax professionals
•                Attorneys
•                Payroll professionals
•                Industry partners

Learn about the new process for correcting employment taxes

•                New Treasury regulations
•                An easier process for tracking adjustments
•                A new set of forms, each corresponding to the employment tax form it is adjusting: Forms 941-X, 943-X, 944-X, 945-X and CT-1 X

Earn Continuing Professional Education credit

•                Enrolled agents receive one CPE credit for a minimum 50-minute participation
         from the start of the forum
•                Other tax professionals may receive credit if the phone forum meets your organization’s or state’s CPE requirements
•                To receive credit, register individually and use your PIN
•                Call in using your individual phone line so your attendance can be verified
•                Look for your Certificate of Completion by e-mail approximately one week after the forum. If you have met all requirements, you will receive your certificate automatically; there’s no need to follow up 
•                If you and others in your office do not require a CPE certificate, please have only one person register on the group’s behalf and use your speaker phone to dial in.  This will maximize the number of lines available for other participants and help reduce costs.
