IRS Audits and Beyond: Navigating the Maze of Worker Classification

This comprehensive webinar will delve into the intricacies of determining worker classification, with a primary focus on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audit process. During the webinar, industry expert Jason Dinesen will explore the current "3-factor" standard employed by the IRS and revisit the older "20-factor" criteria. Additionally, session will encompass relief options available in the event of an audit resulting in the reclassification of contractors as employees.

While the primary emphasis of the session will be on IRS procedures, Jason will briefly touch upon other regulatory agencies, including the Department of Labor and state agencies, that may conduct audits on this issue.

Attendees will gain insights into distinguishing between contractors and employees, understanding necessary documentation for contractors, preventing common audit triggers, and addressing borderline scenarios that may necessitate additional documentation and communication with the IRS and other stakeholders.
