Why has it suddenly become an issue to ensure the correct and legal management of independent contractors in your business? With the downturn in the overall economy, the IRS is searching for untapped areas where significant revenue can be mined. In the past several years, the IRS has decided to make the goal of seeking out and reclassifying 1099 / independent contractors to W-2 employees a priority. Both IBM and Microsoft have each been exposed in legal cases in which they received significant fines and negative publicity from misclassifying employees. It is not just Fortune 500 Companies that are at risk over the last 5 years the IRS has levied over 15 Million dollars in penalties to small businesses like yours. While the laws in regards to independent contractors have not changed in terms of the books, the enforcement has become a new focus.
