Lucho Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 My client has to start withholding 28% from the amount paid to any contractor that does not provide a tax id (by IRS Request. If anyone has had this situation, I will appreciate any guidance on how my client has to proceed sending those payments. So far he has 1 or 2 people that has not provided valid tax payers ID. Thank you in advance. Lucho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILLMAS Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 >>any contractor that does not provide a tax id << Sounds like the feds have already figured out that he is hiring illegal aliens. Good assumption, but I don't think illegal aliens are the only contractors that like to get paid in cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Good assumption, but I don't think illegal aliens are the only contractors that like to get paid in cash. That's for sure! One of my corporate clients had a (US citizen) repair guy who flat-out refused to give his SSN - but the office admin there kept cutting him checks without withholding 28%. I finally changed the "Pay to" line in QuickBooks to print "No more checks until SSN has been received!" and that finally worked (the admin didn't know what I'd changed, tee hee). That guy still does work for them - and every nickel is tracked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
