Using independent contractors like consultants, programmers, writers, etc can be of great benefit to your company and save a considerable amount of money.

However, it is important that you understand and clearly distinguish between an independent contractor and an employee. Some businesses may classify workers as independent contractors when in fact they should be considered and treated as employees. And certain businesses may also wrongly classify independent contractors as employees.

There are considerable tax differences between employees and independent contractors and the IRS has specific guidelines to determine how to classify both employees and independent contractors. Should a company not classify the worker properly they could suffer significant tax consequences and penalties from the IRS. Furthermore, it is also possible that a wrong classification could cause additional problems and risks to company pension plans and other employee benefits.

Employment and tax laws are always changing; do not rely on outdated independent contractor agreements and old information.

If you have further questions your CPA should be able to assist you in understanding the differences between the employment classifications.
