FACTORS THAT DETERMINE EMPLOYMENT CLASSIFICATION

Generally, professionals who are in an independent trade or business and offer their services to the general public may be classified as "independent contractors." Typically, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) utilizes 20 factors to determine if an employer-employee relationship exists. In order to properly classify workers, the IRS will typically analyze a variety of factors. It will be important for business owners as well as employers to know these areas of classification to avoid costly issues with the IRS in the future.

The IRS assesses three categories:

  • Behavioral: Does the company control or have the right to control what, how, and when the worker does their job?
  • Financial: Are the business aspects of the worker's job controlled by the payer? Are they paid hourly, weekly, commission, or by the job? Are expenses reimbursed? Who provides the tools and supplies? Can the worker realize both a profit and / or a loss?
  • Type of relationship: Are there written contracts or employee benefits? Is the work performed a key aspect of the business? Can the worker work for more than one company at the same time?

Do not make the mistake of misclassifying your employees! If your workers are reclassified as employees, your company may be liable for FICA taxes (both employer and employee's portion), FUTA, federal and state income taxes, trust fund recovery penalties under IRC section 6672, worker's compensation claims, and lawsuits by employees who demand full employee benefits for the time they were misclassified as independent contractors.

Our skilled San Diego IRS attorneys are ready to make certain you adhere to all tax regulations.
