Beginning in early 2010, the IRS commenced a three-year employment tax audit initiative known as the National Research Project (NRP), which is the most comprehensive study of employment tax compliance in decades and will target 6,000 employers. Both the IRS and Congress believe that employment tax noncompliance is a serious and growing drain on the Treasury.

This webinar provides an overview of some of the potential issues that can arise in this type of examination so that you can be in a position to properly advise your clients as to what to expect and also help the client arrive at a satisfactory resolution.

Topics covered include:

  • Worker Classification—What tests or factors do the IRS and the courts use to classify a worker as an employee vs. an independent contractor
  • Section 530 Relief—What is this and when is it available
  • Proposals to scale back Section 530 and prevent misclassification
  • Penalties for misclassified workers and mitigation
  • Scope of NRP audits and sources of information IRS will review
