“What’s New” on FMX

January, 2018

Reminder — Last Day to Request Form 1099 is Jan. 30

Payments of $600 or more for services or interest during a calendar year to a non-corporate payee must be reported to the Internal Revenue Service on Form 1099-Miscellaneous (MISC) or Form 1099-Interest Income (INT).

The last day to make adjustments in USAS to the 1099 reportable data and request 1099s is Jan. 30. For more information, see USAS Procedures for 1099 Reporting for Calendar Year 2017 (FPP E.001).

Reminder — Agencies Must Request Unclaimed Funds by May 31

Unclaimed property turned over to the state includes property that may belong to state agencies or institutions of higher education.
