Working with independent contractors can save you a bundle -- but the rules regarding who qualifies are complicated, and misclassifying a worker can result in serious financial penalties from your state or IRS.
If you hire programmers, writers, designers, marketing consultants, nurses, janitors, telemarketers, drivers -- in a word, anyone -- on a contractual basis, you need Working With Independent Contractors. This book shows you how to:
- create a valid contract
- assess who qualifies as an independent contractor
- hire ICs without risking an audit
- retain ownership of intellectual property when using ICs
- handle an IRS audit
- take advantage of the IRS's "Safe Harbor" law
The 7th edition -- completely revised to reflect the latest laws and court rulings -- includes detailed examples of how a business should hire freelancers. Plus, this book comes with all the contracts you'll need.
