Scenario:

Tom Cruise owns a construction company. He employs 10 individuals to help him complete different jobs. He does not have a lot of experience dealing with tax matters. Currently, his workers complete work at his warehouse, he provides them with the tools needed to complete the jobs, and he has the ability to fire them while they have the ability to quit. 1) He requests tax advice from Statesboros Finest Accountants LLP on proper classification. 2) Depending on which classification you deem appropriate, discuss tax compliance duties the company is responsible for if the workers are employees versus if the workers are independent contractors? Only discuss tax compliance duties of the company based on the classification you deem correct.
