Stopping Backup Withholding on Non-Trade Vendors

When you receive a Form W-9, SSA Form 7028 or IRS Letter 147C, you must stop withholding. To stop backup withholding on non-trade vendors:

1. Make the appropriate changes to the vendor file. Refer to Making Name Only Changes to Non-Trade Vendors or Making Taxpayer ID Number (TIN) Changes to Non-Trade Vendors.
2. Type vpn in the next function field and press to access the Vendor Payable Information (VPN) screen.
3. Type c in the request field to change the vendor's information.
4. Type your non-trade paying entity in the pay entity field.
5. Type the vendor number in the vendor number field.
6. Type the vendor group letter, if applicable, in the group field and press to access this vendor's information.
7. Delete the date in the tax id expiration date field and press to stop backup withholding.

The next time a 1099 payment is made to this vendor, nothing will be withheld.
