In this episode of “If Walls Could Talk,” Jill Bloom is joined by Trent Cotney of Adams & Reese. In this discussion, the author discusses an important update on a ruling. And in this final ruling of the Independent Contractor status. What does everyone need to know?
This ruling just came out this year. What makes an independent contractor an independent contractor? The reason this is important is that if you hire a subcontractor, there is an analysis that has to go on to determine if you’re required to pay them a 1099 or if you need to withhold payroll taxes for a W-2 employee. That analysis has changed over the years. The last time it changed was 2021.
