What are the employment tax consequences of a worker being classified as an employee instead of an independent contractor?

ABA Tax Accounting | Payroll Service for Small Businesses | St. Paul, MN Accounting Firm

Payroll Service For Small Businesses - If the worker is an employee, the employer may be required to withhold federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare tax and may have to pay federal unemployment tax. If the worker is an independent contractor, the worker pays his or her own Social Security and Medicare taxes in the form of self-employment tax. Additionally, independent contractors may be prohibited from participating in certain employee benefit plans. Considering a Tax Professional? For no obligation free consultation contact us today!
