Independent contractors and related tax questions are some of the most common questions we get from readers, so I was glad to see these webinars offered by the IRS Small Business/Self-Employed Division during Small Business Week.
The webinars will cover:
- What to do when you hire and pay independent contractors, and
- How best to avoid common mistakes small business owners may make.
- IRS representatives will also be available for a question and answer session directly after each presentation.
