The 2015 Annual Convention is Vegas bound IRS Audit Results Edmond Brady, the official accountant for the State PBA, spoke on the importance of filing a 1099 for documentation when receiving a stipend from your employer. He reminded members to keep documentation for annual reconciliation items such as miles reimbursement, transportation, parking and tolls, tips, Internet access and electronics purchased for work specifications. Brady stressed the importance of Locals using a voucher system when making reimbursement to members.
