I have to give credit here. If I were violating tax law by classifying an employee as an independent contractor, I wouldn't have the balls to admit it. So my hat is off to the person or people who have done so in this thread. I hope the IRS doesn't catch wind of it!:thumbsup:

If you really want to know about the law, Chris, you need to have a good CB.:lol: I am curious as to what did you do your undergraduate studies in, Chris?

No, I'm making assumptions based on the claims posted here (some of which mysteriously disappeared later). If one doesn't want others to assume things about their business, then one shouldn't be posting about their business on an internet message board.

Disappeared, huh? Are you sure that you saw what you think you saw? What you think that you saw may not be what you really saw. You may have seen something but thought you saw something else. :lol2: I don't usually make assumptions about what others may post on an internet message board. OK....perhaps sometimes. :roll:

IT IS 100% LEGAL...... he is paid as a independant contractor, and on a 1099. Nothing worng or illegal about it.
When I worked for the Department of Defense at BAE in Sealy, TX testing out MRAP units, I was paid a 1099 as a IC and it was fine. All you have to do is take out your own taxes, no biggie. I actually paid LESS in taxes than if I was a regular w-2 employee. Only difference he has from actually being an O/O is he is not responsiable for fixing the truck or making payments. As for the Rev's post, it all depends on how the O/O he is driving for pays him. If he pays him as a contrator (not EMPLOYEE) and files his earnings at the end of the year on a 1099 then he is no different than any other company out here. Now if he states on his OWN 1099 that this driver was an EMPLOYEE then he is liable for witholding taxes and such. It's all in wording a filing status. I had 4 drivers for 5 years that I paid as IC drivers and thru a 1099. I never had any problems |
