I just met with a new client from a referral....I am not sure if the guy needs a Priest or an Accountant! :D


The kid runs a landscaping outfit with revenues greater than $300,000 and has worked with what he calls a sub-contractor for about two plus years. The worker goes out and gets the employees and I believe he pays all the bills himself for the third party subs. Some of the IRS list, he is squarely in the middle of employee (doesn't work for anyone else, control) and some he is a sub (he pays the third party workers from his share). I would say he satisfies 60% employee and 40% sub.


I am not sure what to do with this client and what is my responsibility as the tax preparer. The softie in me wants to help the kid and part of me smells a future lawsuit against me and wants to run. I have never dealt with this and wonder if someone could give me guidance in the matter.


Thanks,

Michael
