Getting extra time to file information returns will be a bit harder for some businesses. Previously, employers and others that couldn’t timely file forms W-2, 1099, 1042-S and 8027 could get automatic 30-day extensions. The IRS has issued a revised November 2018 Form 8809 (Application for Extension of Time to File Information Returns), adding boxes to check when the late forms include Forms W-2 or 1099-MISC with nonemployee compensation. The boxes explain why the extension has been requested. To see the form: https://bit.ly/2mGi0kx
