Article summary

Business Process Overview

The Process Payments business process is within the Disbursements Management (DM) business process grouping. DM includes a collection of business processes that:

  • Manage Supplier information, including demographic and payment information for tax withholding and reporting purposes;
  • Support the disbursement process for State obligations from encumbrance through payment request, payment creation, and escheatment; and
  • Perform month-end and year-end closing activities.

The Manage Tax Reporting business process addresses processes for how tax reporting and withholding are handled for supplier and non-payroll payments.

Florida PALM is used to report taxable payments to the IRS, the State of Florida, and the applicable suppliers, and to withhold federal and state taxes from payments as required by federal and state laws. As part of the Set Up and Maintain Suppliers business process, the 1099 information is collected and configured in Florida PALM. The Manage Tax Reporting business process identifies the steps for reviewing 1099 configuration, processing 1099 suppliers and vouchers, and generating and transmitting the 1099 reports.

Tax reportable payments generally include payments for services performed. When a supplier submits an invoice for tax-reportable services, the 1099 withholding is made based on the supplier setup, current withholding rules, and the Accounting values. For Financials Wave, the process will focus on the tax reporting, but will support future implementation of withholding taxes from supplier payments.

Dependencies and Constraints

Dependencies and Constraints describe any conditions or criteria that impact how or when the business process should be executed. These could be set within Florida PALM or from external sources (i.e., Law or Rule).

  • Suppliers are required to have a Tax Identification Number (TIN) that is validated with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) prior to issuance of a tax reportable payment.
  • Entities are subject to TIN validation based on DFS policy to comply with IRS requirements
  • Suppliers are required to provide 1099 information, which is used for withholding and 1099 reporting.
  • Entities are subject to 1099 reporting based on DFS policy to comply with IRS requirements.
  • Employees and retirees may be subject to tax reporting requirements for payments other than payroll or pension payments.
  • Payroll and pension tax reporting requirements are not included in this business process.
  • The 1099 Withholding Report is generated for disbursements issued with a 1099-applicable account value(s) in Florida PALM.
  • The IRS is established as the withholding entity and assigned a unique Supplier ID.
  • The Business Designation is provided to Florida PALM from the DFS Enterprise System via interface.

Business Roles

The Business Process Flow Diagrams use horizontal swim lanes to depict where activities are performed by different parties or systems. Each swim lane is titled with a role, either agency-based or within DFS, and in some cases, are representative of an external entity or system. The swim lanes may change from page to page within a single business subprocess as more or fewer roles are required to execute sections of the business subprocess. 

  • DFS AP 1099 Maintainer: DFS role responsible for updating and/or correcting 1099 withholding transactions and 1099 withholding-related configuration
  • DFS AP 1099 Processor: DFS role responsible for preparation, final review, and approval of 1099 issuance
  • DFS AP 1099 Spreadsheet Upload Processor: DFS role responsible for uploading 1099 spreadsheets for 1099 corrections, adjustments, beneficiary 1099s or backup withholding

Business Process Flows Details

The tables below describe steps in each business subprocess as reflected on the Business Process Flow Diagrams. The tables also reflect information associated with each step describing the intent of the specific process. Florida PALM screenshots are included within the sections to allow connections to be made from specific business subprocess steps to screens within Florida PALM. This information should be read in conjunction with the Business Process Flow Diagrams.

Process Step Title

Description of Process

1

Review 1099 Setup

The setup should be reviewed for: the calendar; Withholding Entities; Withholding Rules; Withholding Types; Withholding Codes; and set up or review of Report Control Information. The DFS AP 1099 Maintainer has access to the 1099 withholding-related configuration and validates the 1099 withholding setup.


2

Run Withholding Post

This step combines voucher and payment information to generate 1099 reportable data which is used to generate 1099 reports. All payments must be posted to be included. The applicability of tax withholding and reporting is identified in the supplier records via the Set Up and Maintain Supplier business process. State payments are marked as applicable for tax withholding or reporting through the supplier record configuration and/or the Account values recorded on the voucher in the Enter and Process Vouchers business process. Account values have a 1099 Reportable Attribute value.


Process Step ID Process Step Title Description of Process of Y (yes) or N (no), which indicates if the account value is 1099 reportable.


3

Perform Review of 1099 Items

After posting withholdings, there are various reports and on-screen inquiries available to review the reportable 1099 voucher and payment information. During the review, vouchers or suppliers may be identified that require marking for withholding. The 1099 Detail, the 1099 Mismatch, the Employee Suppliers, and the 1099 Updates reports are used to identify any updates that are required to the supplier records or voucher accounting.


4

Manage Updates

The DFS AP 1099 Processor or the DFS AP 1099 Maintainer can coordinate with an agency, as needed, for making 1099 corrections and adjustments.


5

Update Withholdings

The DFS AP 1099 Processor or the DFS AP 1099 Maintainer enters adjustments on the Withholding Transaction page. These users can also coordinate with the DFS AP Supplier Approver to update the supplier record for the 1099 withholding-related items, such as withholding applicability, withholding entity, type and class, jurisdiction and/or business designation. The DFS AP 1099 Maintainer updates 1099 Withholding-related configuration items, as necessary. Once the updates have been made, the DFS AP 1099 Processor reviews reports and inquiry screens to determine if any further adjustments or corrections need to be made.


6

Run Withhold 1099 Report Post

After all adjustments have been made, all items are reconciled to make sure there are no more corrections required. The Withhold 1099 Report Post step populates the Withholding 1099 table by extracting data from the Withhold Transaction table and inserting data into the Withholding Report tables.


7

Generate Withhold 1099 IRS Report

The DFS AP 1099 Processor selects the parameters to generate the 1099 IRS Report.


8

Outbound 1099 IRS (API008)

Florida PALM creates a file with the 1099 information for the IRS or other external users.


9

Generate/ Review 1099 to Send Detail Report

This delivered report is a replica of the data in the file prepared for the IRS. This report can be used to reconcile with the IRS file prior to printing the final report for the supplier. After the 1099 to Send Detail report has been generated, there is one final opportunity to make adjustments and corrections, as needed.


10

Create 1099 Copy B Report

After all final adjustments and corrections have been made, the 1099 Copy B Report is generated.


11

Review/Print/ Send 1099 to Suppliers

Generated 1099 forms are reviewed, printed, and mailed to the suppliers.


Process Step ID Process Step Title Description of Process The 1099 Summary report is available for review to verify all required 1099s have been printed and allows an opportunity to identify and print any 1099s that were missed.


12

Upload 1099 IRS File to the IRS

The DFS AP 1099 Processor uploads the file to the IRS site.


13

Finalize/ Update Records

The Withholding Sent File finalizes the 1099 reporting by marking the transactions as included in the reported 1099s.


14

Review 1099 Spreadsheet

The DFS AP 1099 Spreadsheet Upload Processor receives a 1099 spreadsheet outside of Florida PALM for review. The 1099 spreadsheet contains 1099 corrections, adjustments, beneficiary 1099s or backup withholding once backup withholding functionality is implemented in Florida PALM. If the spreadsheet does not contain the appropriate information for upload to Florida PALM, the DFS AP 1099 Spreadsheet Upload Processor works with the requester outside of Florida PALM to resolve the issues with the spreadsheet. For 1099 corrections submitted via spreadsheet upload, corrected 1099 forms will be generated in Florida PALM once the 1099 process is run again.


15

Inbound 1099 Spreadsheet Upload (API128)

The DFS AP 1099 Spreadsheet Upload Processor uses the Inbound 1099 Spreadsheet Upload to import the submitted and reviewed 1099 spreadsheet.


16

Perform Interface Error Checking

Edit validations are performed on each interface before the data is allowed to load to the Florida PALM tables. If the file is rejected, all transactions in the file are rejected and the file must be resubmitted once the issue is resolved. If the file is not rejected, edit validations are performed on each transaction before the data is allowed to load for processing in the AP module. Edit Validations include: · Business Unit Validation · Chartfield (Account) Validation · Withholding Entity Validation · Withholding Type Validation · Withholding Class Validation · Amount Validation · Supplier Validation Additional Interface exceptions may occur when the data is validated against specific interface edits. Examples include: duplicate data in the file, incorrect


Process Step ID Process Step Title Description of Process data, missing required fields, and inactive chartfields. Agencies will need to resend any transactions that error in a future interface.


17

Load Inbound 1099 Data

Florida PALM loads the 1099 data and runs the Withholding Post process. The uploaded 1099 data is ready to be reviewed in the next step of the 1099 process.


Accounting Events

Accounting events originate during transaction processing in the applicable source module. The accounting events impact the source module, Commitment Control ledgers, and the General Ledger (Actuals).

  • Source Module accounting entries require user input (I) of the primary line (i.e., expenditure, revenues) with an automated (A) system offsetting line (i.e., payable, receivable) during transaction entry. The source model transaction must pass Edit Check, Budget Check, and Cash Check (on applicable entries) prior to posting the transaction.
  • The Run Budget Check (Commitment Control) process automatically affects balances in the appropriate budget ledger (i.e., Appropriations, spendable cash) if the transaction passes the budget check process.
  • After the transaction is posted in the source module, an automated system process summarizes and posts the entries in the General Ledger module to the Actuals Ledger.

The table below provides the most common accounting events applicable to this business process.
