Will an IRS determination of worker classification that differs from my contract nullify the contract with staffing co?
Anonymous1 views3 answers
My contract says I'm an indie contractor but I've been told I'm most likely an employee. I'm involved in a payment dispute that's headed for a court room. Having filed Form SS-8 with the IRS if the IRS determines I am in fact a contractor will that by any chance nullify the contract with staffing co?
It depends on the terms of the contract. You should consult with an employment law attorney, especially considering that you are "headed for a court room."
Probably not, but you should have an attorney review the contract. The IRS classifies workers for tax reasons, not contract reasons. The IRS isn't a court, so it doesn't determine the legal relationship between parties except to the extent that it affects tax matters.
