Employers Playing Tax Games with Worker Classification: Part II: Employee or Independent Contractor?

Our previous post discussed the IRS new Voluntary Worker Classification Settlement Program (VCSP) offering past payroll tax relief when the employer agrees to reclassify workers as employees.  For the details and discussion of this VCSP program please see our just published article at my website at the following link:  http://www.sjfpc.com/IRS_Payroll_Taxes_VCSP.html.  Many have inquired as to what distinguishes an employee from an independent contractor.  For a discussion of this issue and the IRS and case law criteria involved please see our article entitled Employee or Independent Contractor? at http://sjfpc.com/IRS_tax_rules_employee_versus_independent-contractor.html.  Both of these articles can be seen at our website  (www.sjfpc.com).
