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.
NOTE: This webinar 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.
