What employers need to know when classifying workers as employees or independent contractors

IRS Tax Tip 2021-140 explains how to correctly determine whether individuals providing services are employees or independent contractors.

An employee is generally considered anyone who performs services, if the business can control what will be done and how it will be done. What matters is that the business has the right to control the details of how the worker's services are performed. Independent contractors are normally people in an independent trade, business or profession in which they offer their services to the public. Doctors, dentists, veterinarians, lawyers, accountants, contractors, subcontractors, public stenographers or auctioneers are generally independent contractors.

Employers use Form 1099-NEC to report nonemployee compensation.
