The Internal Revenue Service has recently announced plans to conduct payroll tax audits of approximately 6,000 companies and increase its focus on compliance issues relating to section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. To be ready for such audits, employers should review worker classifications, fringe benefit polices, executive compensation arrangements and Code-qualified employee benefit plans now.
This webcast features experienced attorneys from Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP who will explore critical areas of focus in this matter including:
- Assessment of those individuals or third-party relationships currently classified as independent contractors
- Employer review of all deferred compensation plans for documentary compliance, as well as review of all deferral and/or subsequent deferral elections, potential payment accelerations, and any stock-related awards subject to 409A
- Reducing a company's exposure to IRS audit
