Seminar: How to Re-Evaluate Your Association’s Programs, Products & Services
It is always important to evaluate the programs, products and services that you are offering your members. The hard part is knowing how and when to do this. Does your organization struggle with cutting programs that aren’t useful anymore? Has your association kept services around simply because you always offered them? Is it simply time for a fresh approach?
If you can relate to these or questions similar to them then register for this program to learn how and when to take action!

ASAE PROGRAM TO HIGHLIGHT 1099 ISSUES:
As reported in last week’s Inroads, the IRS is seeking comments on a new requirement in the health care reform bill that will require all businesses and tax-exempt organizations to issue a Form 1099 to vendors from whom they buy goods totaling $600 or more annually. To educate the association community on the requirements as well as solicit feedback and concerns, ASAE will hold a program specifically on the 1099 reporting in September.
The program, titled “The New 1099 Requirement and Why It Will Impact Your Association,” will be held in the ASAE Conference Center Sept. 15 from 1:30 – 2:30 PM. Presenting on the topic will be Charles Tate CPA, Managing Partner of Tate & Tryon CPAs and Consultants, as well as Debbie Kosnett and Subrina Wood, also of Tate & Tryon. Attendees can participate in person or on-the-phone. More information and registration can be found here.
To meet the 1099 requirement, businesses and other entities will have to keep detailed records of all purchases by vendors throughout the year. Payments to associations and other tax-exempt organizations would be exempt from the reporting requirement, however. Comments to the IRS on the 1099 reporting requirement are due Sept. 29 and can be sent electronically to Notice.Comments@irscounsel.treas.gov. Please refer to the IRS Notice for more information.
IRS Invites Comments on the New 1099 Requirement
The IRS is seeking comments on a new requirement in the health care reform bill enacted in March that will require all businesses and tax-exempt organizations to issue a Form 1099 to vendors from whom they buy goods totaling $600 or more annually.
The new requirement, which will take effect beginning in 2012, is expected to have broad reach and, according to the National Taxpayer Advocate, "may impose significant compliance burdens on businesses, charities and government agencies."
According to a Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) analysis, about 40 million businesses and other entities will be subject to the new requirement. TAS expressed concern in its mid-year report to Congress late last week that the reporting burden on businesses "may turn out to be disproportionate as compared with any resulting improvement in tax compliance."
