We used Ask Blue J to write a response:

Yes, the backup withholding provision under IRC 6050W still applies even if another code provision already requires backup withholding of a reportable transaction. The regulations do not eliminate the backup withholding requirements under IRC 6050W under any circumstances, even where the potential for duplicate withholding exists.
