Independent Contractors: Tax and Business Planning
Audience: CPAs in public practice or employed in business and industry who wish to help employers avoid penalties for misclassifying workers as independent contractors.
Level: Update/Review
Description: The worker misclassification issue is heating up again, with the government bringing several major cases against employers. Worker misclassification has both state law and federal tax consequences. If the IRS determines an employer misclassifies all its workers, back taxes and penalties can be 30 percent of payroll cost, enough to bankrupt many clients. Have you read recently about the “20 factor” test to see whether a worker is an employee? The IRS hasn’t used that test in years. This practical course covers both preventive planning and strategies to help clients under government scrutiny.
Learn About: Business advantages of classifying workers as independent contractors » Outsourcing » Traditional state law classification » IRS view--the old 20 factors test vs. the “new approach” » Employment and income tax consequences of IRS reclassification » Section 530 Safe Harbors » Handling employment tax audits » Preventative planning techniques to save your client from disaster.
