Agenda: 

August 4 - I-9 and W-4 Complying with Hiring Employees - Your client hires employees and comes to you to get started correctly.  This class will review the forms necessary to be in compliance with Immigration, the IRS, Iowa Workforce Development and the Iowa Department of Revenue.  The majority of the discussion will center on the federal requirements.

August 5 - Minister Tax Law - Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ministers are accorded some unique tax benefits for income, social security and Medicare taxes, which present several potential examination issues on ministers' tax returns in addition to income and expenses issues found in most examinations.  We will discuss the following issues; Parsonage/Housing Allowance, Gift or Compensation Issues: Self-Employment Tax, Employee or Independent Contractor and Business Expenses: Operation of Section 265

August 6 - Form 941 and Matching with Form W-2 - IRS match Forms W-2 to information to amounts reported on Form 941.  When the numbers don’t add up IRS issues a Combined Annual Withholding Report Notice (CAWR) and it’s up to you to assist your client in resolving the discrepancies. Tips on how to resolve the issues and prevent the notices from being issued will be discussed.

August 10 - Fringe Benefits - An overview of fringe benefits that employees enjoy and whether or not they are taxable income or exempt from tax will be discussed. Publication 5137 will be used for this class.
