IRS Rules Blur Line Between Employees, Independent Contractors
One of NFIB's top legislative priorities has consistently been to better define who is an independent contractor. The current 20 common-law factor test for determining who is an employee vs. an independent contractor has for too long handcuffed small businesses. These instructions are at best vague and unclear, including those that address employee and independent contractor taxes, making it difficult for small employers to honestly know whether they are complying with the rules.NFIB has joined forces with the Small Business Legislative Council and other business groups in organizing the Independent Contractor Coalition to monitor legislative and regulatory activity in this area.
