On the contrary, encouraging everyone to operate above the line will be better for the window cleaning industry and better for you as a company. When people have shady practices, cut prices and mis-classify workers, legit companies can’t compete.
What I got out of the thread from @Blue_Ocean_Window_Cl is that California State Fund was making their own extreme interpretation of tax law for their own benefit.
The IRS states repeatedly in their docs that no one factor determines employee vs. sub. State Fund was wrong to go on one or two factors and penalize a business that was obviously doing their best to keep everything above board and treat their subs as subs. The IRS isn’t even that extreme. If someone demonstrates that they were doing their best to follow the rules, they don’t get hit with back-taxes or penalties, only back pay if their “employees” are owed any for overtime.
What I ultimately learned from the whole thread was, don’t ever do business in CA.

Your preaching to the choir man. That will always be the case. There will always be bucket bob. You are completely missing the point. freaken button, @Chris did you take that button out?
He carries his own liability insurance, has own equipment, pays his own taxes, has his own work vehicle, ect. All i do is let him pick jobs he wants to do and that are available. i dont make his schedule, he works on his own accord. I’m just letting you know what works for me, it may not work for you, just thought id answer a question that was asked, no need to complicate things or dig up some b.s., it is what it is and ive never had problems with irs.
