Providers who are frequently hired as independent contractors include:

• Drivers
• Writers
• Marketing firms
• Consultants
• Contractors
• Physicians
• Real estate agents
• Financial planners and CPAs

Using independent contractors can be of great benefit to your company and can save money. However, they must be classified correctly.

The IRS has specific guidelines on how to classify independent contractors. If your company does not classify them properly, you could suffer significant tax penalties. A wrong classification may cause additional problems for your company pension plans and employee benefits.

Without an attorney-drafted independent contractor agreement, you may open your company up to tax liabilities that you had not planned on.

Furthermore, you want to make sure you are protecting all copyrights, patents, trade secrets, and other intellectual property arising from the work performed under the agreement.
