 THANK YOU!
 
 
“Project Santa Open House”
 
Though things are rough and make us sad,
Let’s really dig deep and make some children glad.
Some poor family has a short Christmas list,
You might just fill with a gift you won’t miss.
Together we can make some needy child,
Have a happy Christmas morning smile.
So let’s get Project Santa going right away,
And we will all be happy on Christmas Day.
May you all be blest with Christmas cheer,
And have a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Heads up!
 
The IRS and the US Department of Labor are embarking on an enforcement effort to crackdown on “misclassification of employees”. 
 
This practice (too common in the construction industry) consists of the use of “1099 – Independent Contractor” status to pay workers
 
when they do not meet the test for that status.  The rules for determining who is an employee vs. who is an independent contractor can be vague –
 
but just because you want to pay your work crew without paying employment taxes or going to the hassle of withholding/paying
 
their share is not one of the tests.  Click here to read information about classification of employees on the IRS website.
 
To decrease the pain of making the transition the IRS has announced a program that offers substantial reduction in penalties
 
IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY BEING AUDITED.
 
This can be (and has been for many construction industry folks) a very costly practice, if you are audited. 
 
I hope you’ll read the information above and contact your accountant to get an informed opinion of what effect this has on you.
