Product Description
If your business hires independent contractors, freelancers or consultants, this book is for you -- and essential.
Working with Independent Contractors can save you a bundle -- but the rules regarding who qualifies are complicated, and misclassifying a worker can result in serious financial penalties from your state or IRS.
If you hire programmers, writers, designers, marketing consultants, nurses, janitors, telemarketers, drivers -- in a word, anyone -- on a contractual basis, you need Working With Independent Contractors. This book shows you how to:
create a valid contract
assess who qualifies as an independent contractor
hire ICs without risking an audit
retain ownership of intellectual property when using ICs
handle an IRS audit
take advantage of the IRS's "Safe Harbor" law
The 6th edition -- completely revised to reflect the latest laws and court rulings -- includes detailed examples of how a business should hire freelancers. The book comes with all the contracts you'll need, as tear-outs and on CD-ROM.

WOW - Detailed info presented in an understandable organized way - PERFECT, 2006-05-17
I'm only about 1/3rd of the way through this book, and I'm SO impressed I have to give it 5 stars already. It has already answered all my questions, and taught me SO much. I have found it easy to read - especially the first chapters. I'm not sure anyone could have possibly made the more confusing topics any easier to understand.
For the classify workers portion, it's well organized so you can see exactly which organizations you need to be concerned with satisfying - and it's many more than just the IRS (in fact the one most likely to audit you isn't even the IRS!). It even tells you which are more likely to audit you. It lists what can trigger audits. It even lists the tests that each state uses in detail!!! This is perfect! I love the examples, and the tips for avoiding problems.
If you want to get ICs, if you want to be an IC, or if you were treated as an IC possibly improperly in your last job and are disgruntled - you need this book! It even comes with forms and contracts on a cd and tear-out! Plus detailed suggestions on language for creating your own custom agreements.
