| I have accepted a part time position with a CPA firm in Rhode Island, but the hourly rate is a little low because of employee status (the employee v independent contractor issue) and payroll taxes. What if I proposed using my Corporation, could they then pay the Corp and I pay the taxes?
Thanks | |

| I assume they set the hours, the work, the specifications, the location, the programmes you will be using, and you can not substitute someone else to perform your work in your stead. You are therefore an employee. Pretending you're not doesn't fool the IRS if either you, your corporation, or your boss were audited.
Your risk of getting caught/audited is pretty dang small. But the consequences of your actions (losing your CPA license) are massive. I wouldn't risk it. | |

| Thanks, I just wanted to make sure I cover all my bases. So an employee it is!! | |

| It is ironic that several Fortune 100 companies will 'hire' retirees back but only if they form a corporation, and usually to do the same work they did while working. | |

| yes and until 2011 no 1099 for corps so no issue with the same person getting a 1099 & a W-2 | |
