How to survive an unemployment tax auditSlide2

“Why us?”

Random audits

Benefit related audits

External information

Task force Slide3

The process

Section 1800

average business might take a full day

(maybe some follow-up)

one person is coming with a laptop

(they will need a place to work)Slide4

What will we look at?

Almost everything on the payables side:

We will reconcile all of your payroll with our records

We will look at your general ledger and check registerSlide5

We will pay special attention to your 1099s

misc

and other records of contract labor

We will examine your income tax filing records

And anything else that might have pertinent information

(not so much involved with earnings and revenue)

Slide6

Payroll issues

Make sure names and SSNs are correct

Verify your excess wage calculations

Verify correct additions and subtractions from wages:

medical insurance, 401K, cafeteria plansSlide7

Misclassification of workers

Section 212!!!

Unemployment law and Federal law are different

Our definition of an “independent contractor” is very specificSlide8

To consider a worker an independent contractor you must meet 3 conditions all at the same time

(and the language in any contract does not control the situation)Slide9

Part a

The work must be done free from direction and control

there are a variety of factors

must be true both under the contract of services and in factSlide10

Part b

Must be done outside the usual course of the business

OR

Outside of all the places of businessSlide11

Part c

The individual in question must be engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, profession or business (related to the services being performed)

The burden of proof is on the employer!Slide12

You owe money! ? ##@**@#!!!

You get 10 days to present more evidence

You will receive a Determination and Assessment

This is the

protestable

document

you get 20 days to file a protestSlide13

The protest

First level is a phone hearing with an administrative law judge

Second level is filing objections to the decision

Third level is your county circuit courtSlide14

Protection

Stay informed: Google IDES and section 212 every now and then

Self examine: you have our exact method

Keep contractor files with

evidence!!!
