Misclassifying workers as independent contractors instead of employees—or vice versa—can lead to significant tax, legal, and financial consequences. In this engaging and practical 2-hour session, tax expert Jason Dinesen walks you through the key factors that determine a worker’s status under IRS, Department of Labor, and state rules. We’ll explore the IRS’s three-factor test, the DOL’s economic realities standard, and the ABC test used by some states.
You’ll learn how to strengthen your position when classifying workers as contractors, how to respond in an audit, and how to handle situations where misclassification is discovered—before or after the IRS gets involved. Real-world examples, court cases, and practical insights round out this essential training for anyone responsible for compliance in payroll, HR, or tax reporting.
