Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Are you aware of Form SS-8, Determination of Worker Status for Purposes of Federal Employment Taxes and Income Tax Withholding?  See the form and instructions here.

 

A worker may file Form SS-8 to request a determination of the status of a worker for purposes of federal employment taxes and income tax withholding.

 

Filing a Form SS-8 requesting a “worker status” determination means you or the firm is asking the Service to establish if the services you provide to the firm are those of an employee or an independent contractor.

 

I have helped individuals prepare form SS-8 and always caution that the process takes time and could generate a negative response from the employer.  

 

Best wishes.
