1099 Reporting Requirements - Contractor vs. Employee

Why Should You Attend:

In the ever changing world of business, it is critical to correctly determine whether individuals providing services to companies are employees or independent contractors and per the statutes report to avoid audits and other enforcement efforts. The IRS says if you treat employees as nonemployees you will be liable for all social security and Medicare taxes and for withholding taxes for the entire period of misclassification plus all penalties and interest.

Businesses are pushed to supply customers the best prices. One of the ways companies are trying to cut expenses is reclassifying employees. Every business knows hiring employees can be increased hardship for businesses to provide benefits and pay increased wages, and thereby classify workers as contractors.

The IRS states employers need to be fully informed of the code and know how to determine contractors vs. employees to stay in compliance or face fines. This webinar will train attendees on the same.
