Overview:
IRS audits on the
subject of whether a worker is a contractor, or an employee are on the rise.
States are also increasing enforcement in this area. This webinar will help you
tell the difference between a contractor and an employee and what to do if the
IRS audits your business.
Session Highlight:
· Why it’s important to
know the difference between contractors and employees
· All the different ways you can get audited: IRS, DOL, and states (we focus on the IRS mostly in this webinar)
· The IRS’s current 3-factor test
· The older — but still referenced — 20-factor test
· Dealing with borderline situations — are they a contractor or are they an employee?
· Form SS-8 — what to do if an employee files one
· IRS relief programs: Section 530; Section 3509; the voluntary compliance program
Benefits For Attending:
This webinar will
cover what the IRS looks at when auditing whether a worker is an employee or a
contractor. We will cover the current “3-factor” standard the IRS uses, as well
as the older “20-factor” standards. We will also discuss the relief options
available if you get audited and the IRS reclassifies contractors as employees.

specifically focuses mostly on the IRS, but we also talk briefly about other
agencies that could audit this issue, such as the DOL or state agencies.
