Worker or contractor? U.S. businesses get it wrong: IRS watchdog

[AZ-Tax]

TGITA made four recommendations for the IRS to improve businesses' compliance in identifying workers. The IRS said it agreed to implement all four recommendations.

Anybody know what these 4 recommendations are?

I can say, the IRS program currently with submitting the SS-8 request or submit a ruling, is not working! I have had such a request submitted since March 2013 for a 2012 Taxpayer Item -

We submitted DOL "settlement" documents as well to establish the case that the Employer should have classified the Taxpayer as an Employee and be responsible for Employer Payroll Taxes.

SS-8 Dept response received this week (4 months later), we can not make a ruling when there is a "pending lawsuit" - Duh! NO Pending Lawsuit, we submitted the Settlement Agreement, closed!

So I will be interested to see what the "4 points" TIGTA is recommending, as obviously the IRS is NOT performing their job currently!

What else is new!
