Boston Business Tax Attorneys Defending Businesses in Worker Classification Audits & Disputes     

At Thorn Law Group, we are experienced at advising clients in Boston and throughout New England on how the government and courts determine a worker’s appropriate classification. For federal and state tax purposes, there are two classifications: independent contractor or employee. Either classification can be a valid and appropriate business choice.  The distinction between independent contractor and employee is an important one because it impacts the tax responsibilities of both the business and the workers.

Worker Misclassification is an area the IRS and the State of Massachusetts have highlighted for increased investigation and enforcement, including financial penalties and even criminal prosecution.

In fact, the State of Massachusetts considers itself a national leader in the fight against employee misclassification, as evidenced by its recent groundbreaking, $3-million settlement with FedEx Ground to settle claims that the company misclassified drivers as independent contractors.

Businesses found to have misclassified workers as independent contractors rather than employees may be subject to significant back taxes and penalties and, in egregious cases, criminal prosecution.  The tax lawyers at Thorn Law Group are experienced at advising clients on the process the IRS and the courts use to determine whether a worker is appropriately classified as an employee or independent contractor for tax purposes.
