  <title>Five Ways to Improve Your Information Reporting in 2026</title>
  <description> In this episode, compliance expert Jason Dinesen joins host Grace Berube to share five practical steps AP teams can take to strengthen their information reporting processes. With 1099 season behind them, Jason walks through foundational W-9 habits, a pair of new Treasury regulations on cloud transactions, the IRS’s plan to retire the FIRE e-filing system, the growing complexity of state 1099 filing obligations, and the value of having written procedures in place before the next reporting cycle begins.  WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE   Why collecting W-9s remains the most foundational habit in information reporting — and how it addresses most common 1099 problems.  What the Treasury Department’s 2025 regulations on cloud transactions mean for AP teams — including how SaaS payments, particularly to foreign providers, may factor into information reporting obligations.  What AP teams using the IRS’s FIRE e-filing system should know about the planned transition to IRIS, including the differences in transmitter codes and file formats.  How to stay on top of state 1099 filing obligations across the 39 states that may require some form of information return, and a simple calendar-based approach to tracking rule changes.  Why written procedures matter beyond internal organization — and how documented processes can serve as evidence of reasonable cause in the event of an IRS audit.  </description>
