Form 8919

[KBTS]

Client feels he was misclassified as subcontractor and filed an SS-8 sometime last fall. He has yet to hear from the IRS on this. What is your experience with filing a form 8919 versus a Sch C? He has no plans on working for this company again, so that is not an issue.

I sure hope he kept a copy of that SS8 for your review. He did, right?

But, absent that copy you're in a bind to use the form without substantive proof that he indeed was an employee.

Good question - I will have to check to see if he did keep a copy or not.
