Description : | IRS and State Agencies have increased their audits of workers classified as Independent Contractors. Why, because both agencies are looking for more revenue without raising taxes. Misclassification of workers by payees are an easy IRS target. As a result, companies need to be especially careful to ensure that their employee vs contractor classifications are in compliance with the law. In this course, industry expert and corporate tax attorney Steven D. Mercatante Esq. takes a look some of the more common problems experienced by CPA’s, accounts payable, and tax departments related documenting and validating payee information using the IRS Form W-9. He not only identifies the issues, but offers solutions and best-practices for addressing them. |
