The purpose of this message is to remind local districts of the “Required Action” as listed in the Administrative Directive 06-ADM-02, released March 2nd, 2006.  The ADM advised districts that New York State will once again start receiving Federal Tax Information (FTI) from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and detailed the impact on local districts.  The new reinstituted 1099 computer match program will be handled by OTDA personnel in a secure room in Albany.

The districts were advised to provide a 1099 contact person to whom e-mails or faxes can be sent when federal tax information is confirmed and the district must follow-up to determine if a case action is necessary.  The Contact name and e-mail address was to be sent to OTDA by March 31, 2006.  For districts that have not provided their contact information, please do so no later than April 21, 2006.
