The IRS is pointing its finger at improper worker classification as a leading target in its battle to get proper taxes paid on all income. And the IRS is not the only one. The states are also cracking down. In fact, thirteen states have joined forces with the IRS for employment audits. What's more, the scrutiny is likely to increase. In addition to the heightened concern over income slipping through the cracks, many believe the Independent Contractor Proper Classification Act of 2007, which was never passed, will now get new life. After all, its sponsor was Barack Obama.  Even the most conscientious organization can get caught if they aren’t extremely careful.
