Contents of the Print 1094-CS Screen

Use the fields and options to configure the Print 1094-CS screen.

Identification

Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.

You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print options, if there are any, are also included in the saved parameter ID. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.

Field Description
Parameter ID

Enter, or click to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made on the screen, such as PERIOD or QUARTERLY.

When you save your record, all the selections made on the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.

You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display on the screen, you can override the defaults.

Description

Enter, or click to select, a parameter description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.

Final regulations regarding an IRS truncated taxpayer identification number

The IRS issued final regulations (Internal Revenue Bulletin 2014-31) on July 15, 2014 that allow you to truncate payee identification numbers on statements. The goal of these regulations is to reduce the risk of identity theft that may stem from including a taxpayer’s entire identifying number on a payee statement.

The regulations allow you to replace the first five digits of the nine digit number with asterisks (*) or X’s for the following:

  • Payee’s social security number (SSN)
  • Individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN)
  • Employer identification number (EIN)
  • Adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN) on most payee statements

A payee is any person who is required to receive a copy of the information set forth on an information return by the filer of the return. For some forms, the term payee will refer to beneficiary, borrower, debtor, insured, participant, payer, policyholder, recipient, shareholder, student, or transferor.

You can truncate a payee's identification number on the statements (including substitute and composite substitute statements) you give to them in paper or electronic format (usually designated Copy B). This includes the Form 1098 series (except Form 1098-C), Form 1099 series, Form 5498 series and Form 1095-C.

If you truncate an identification number on Copy B, the other copies you give the payee should also include the truncated number.
