Description 

The rush of April 15 is over, but for many tax professionals, the real headache has just begun: reconciling the mess of 1099s found during tax season. This session, led by 'The 1099 Guy' Jason Dinesen, dives into the complex world of LLCs and the ever-changing landscape of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). We will address the 'Disregarded Entity' trap, the retroactive threshold changes for 1099-K (PayPal/Venmo), and the new 2026 e-filing mandates. This isn't just a 'how-to'—it’s a 'how-to-fix' session designed for the post-deadline cleanup.

We will dive deep into why "Disregarded Entities" cause the most 1099 errors, how to handle the retroactive threshold changes for payment apps, and the mandatory 2026 e-filing requirements. If you found errors on your clients' books this tax season, this is your roadmap to fixing them before the IRS sends a notice.
