Why is it necessarily different with a house cleaner? -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia <http://gallery.me.com/alangbaker/100008/DSCF0162/web.jpg>

She can't determine > when and where she cleans your house. That is not a prerequisite for independent contractor status. I'm an independent contractor as a high school wrestling official, but I can't determine when or where the matches are. As for the housekeeper, she can determine *where* she cleans my house. She cleans my house at my house.

"The IRS does not have the money or resources to audit everyone each year. Thank God! To compensate for this, it requires taxpayers to file certain information tax forms. The 1099-MISC is one such form. It covers a surprising number of payments, but the most common is for payments totaling $600 or more to independent contractors. For example, if your CPA is a sole proprietor and you pay him $1,000, then you must report it." http://www.businesstaxrecovery.com/2009-deadlines-1099-MISC-independent-contractors |
