Overview

In the gig economy, people earn income providing on-demand work, services or goods. Taxpayers must report these earnings on a tax return, whether earned through a part-time, temporary or side gig.  This new worker status challenges traditional ideas of who is an employee and who is an independent contractor. This program addresses federal and state tax issues tax practitioners must address with clients and their own workers.

Panelists are subject to change.

Major Topics:

  • What is the gig economy?
  • Who is an employee and who is an independent contractor?
  • Form 1099-NEC and reporting of non-employee compensation

  • The “convenience of the employer” rule
