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.
