Advice from the Expert
by Sean Berry, CPA
As a payor of services received you must analyze whether payments are to be classified as wages paid by an employer (W-2 Income), or are payments as nonemployee compensation (1099 Income). The analysis of this question can be complex. In general terms, an individual working for you is an employee if you have the right to control the means and the method by which he/she accomplishes a given task. The more control the payor has, the more likely the recipient is an employee.

The basic fundamentals to analyze are:

  • 1. Behavior Control
  • 2. Financial Control
  • 3. Relationship of the parties.

Behavior control is probably the easiest of the 3 to comprehend. If you hire an individual who is a professional in the business relating to a task you desire for him/her to complete, and you don't necessarily control the means and methods of how the task is completed, you could possibly have grounds to report payments on form 1099-MISC.

Financial control relates to how much control you have on rate, and when to pay for services.

Relationship of the parties refers to an employer-employee relationship. If there is no appearance of an employer-employee relationship then you may be able to report income on form 1099-MISC to a contractor.

As a payor, you must take into consideration all 3 points outlined above. A misclassification of income between W-2 or 1099 forms could result in negative consequences from the IRS. Be sure to consult your tax advisor if you have any doubt of what form to use when reporting payments for services.
