FAQ: Should I pay them as a subcontractor or a W-2 employee?

We get this question a lot.

The short answer is that you shouldn’t choose simply based on which option is easier or cheaper.

The IRS looks at the relationship between the business and the worker. Things that matter:

✔️ Who controls how the work is done?
✔️ Who sets the schedule?
✔️ Who provides the tools and equipment?
✔️ Can the worker perform services for other clients?

If you’re directing their day-to-day work like an employee, there’s a good chance they should be on payroll. Getting it wrong can lead to payroll tax issues, penalties, and a lot of headaches down the road.

If you’re unsure, ask before you start writing checks. It’s much easier to set it up correctly from the beginning than fix it later.

People think accounting is boring.

Meanwhile, this week we’ve discussed:

• A chicken farm
• A plumbing company
• A medical clinic
• Fifteen LLCs
• Retirement planning
• And whether or not a dog is a business expense

Nothing boring about it.

Social Security should be part of your retirement plan, not your entire retirement plan.

Headlines this week are telling us that Social Security’s trust fund could face funding issues sooner than expected.

We don’t know exactly what Congress will do, but one thing is certain: relying on a single source of retirement income has never been a great strategy.

Whether it’s a SEP IRA, Roth IRA, 401(k), investments, or something else, having a backup plan gives you options.

The best time to start planning was years ago. The second-best time is today.

We get a lot of questions about our old Burroughs adding machine in the office.

Before spreadsheets, cloud accounting, and calculators that fit in your pocket, this was cutting-edge technology.

Any guesses what year it was made?

Closest guess wins absolutely nothing except bragging rights.

Things we’ve learned running a business:

We spend a lot of time on social media sharing tax tips, filing deadlines, and other reminders. Of course, those things do matter.

But if we had to give one piece of advice to a business owner, it probably wouldn’t be about taxes at all.

It would be this:

Hire good people.

The right people make your business better. They take ownership, care about your clients, solve problems, and help carry the load when things get busy.

No software, tax strategy, or business plan has a bigger impact on growth than having great people on your team. It’s one of the best investments a small business owner can make.

A series of unfortunate events:

This fiddle leaf fig in our office used to have a lot of leaves. Now it has one. Just one.

Fortunately, we’re much better at accounting than we are at keeping office plants alive. 🍃

Ask for help before you need it!

The best time to talk with an accountant isn't when there's a problem, but before one happens in the first place. Planning ahead saves time, money, and stress.

What accounting question do you wish you had asked sooner?

Friendly Reminder: Q2 Estimated taxes are due June 15th!

If you make estimated tax payments, your second-quarter payment is due June 15.

Now is a good time to review your income, make sure you’re setting aside enough for taxes, and avoid surprises down the road. If you’re already one of our clients, you should expect to hear from us soon.

A little planning now can save a lot of stress later.
