Independent Contract Reporting -
Jan Wallace
spoke about independent contractor issues.
An APA committee works with the government on matters concerning payment
reporting. Their federal government
contact, Lynnetta Thompson, requested feedback from the AP community regarding
the impact if AP payers were required to report new hire independent contractors
for the purpose of collecting delinquent child support. This is already
required by some states, but not yet on a federal level.
Responses were due by the end of February 2007.
