Watchful Eye: You can’t escape the IRS. If you make a little bookkeeping error, the IRS will know. One of the most mutual faults is misclassifying an employee as an independent contractor. If you’re found guilty of this, you face severe penalties. But there is good news. The IRS offers a second chance for people who make mistakes.
Steps to Take:
-Fill out form 4670, “Request for Relief from Payment on Income Tax.”
-Fill out Form 4669 “Statement of Payments Received”
-Provide Documents supporting your case
Friendly Note:
An employer will not owe employment taxes for misclassified workers if they meet all three requirements described in Sect. 530:
The employer ought to have reasonable basis for not treating the workers as employees
The employer ought to have treated the workers and any similar laborers as independent contractors for all applicable periods
The employer must have filed Form 1099 MISC (Miscellaneous Income), for each worker, if required
Watch your Back: The Section 530 relief provision doesn’t utilise in a lot of cases. If you’re a worker who provides technical services for the client as a drafter, computer programmer, or engineer, or any other skilled worker in a similar field, the provision will not apply for you. So be careful!
And Remember: Don’t be embarrassed in regards to seeking help. No one ever said the IRS was easy. In fact, most humans don’t fully comprehend the IRS. To be honorable with you, even the Commissioner doesn’t recognise everything about the IRS. Make sure you get reliable, realistic support so that you have less to worry about.
Now You Have The Smoking Gun…Use it!

 Have a cigar Woodrow
By J. H. S. Roodt
At least two groups of humans will gain from this book: those on tight time lines in management and those aspiring to management positions. The book has three parts: (1) what is a problem and why we struggle with complexity, (2) a framework for solving difficultnesses (CIGARS) and (3) a resource summary of 20 diverse problem solving techniques.
By page 27 Woodrow has covered much of what we understand with regards to intelligence and the reasons for us failing to discover reasonable solutions to complex problems. It is done in a refreshingly clear and concise manner, referencing just sufficient works for those that want to study specific points – if you have the leisure time! Around page 31 the CIGARS framework is introduced and the book remains clear and easy to read. Sub-sections have bulleted lists of key learning points – always utile to check that you missed nothing. It concludes with great ideas to rediscover your originative side. The body of books on creativeness is huge, but the ideas are breathtakingly simple, and Woodrow distils it nicely. Part three had Woodrow scratching his head I guess, because there are so numerous methods that would fit in his CIGARS framework. He chosen 20 and covers each in “What, Why, When, Who How” fashion, with assorted examples to clarify the concepts.
Cautions: this is not the definitive book on Mind Maps, Lateral Thinking, etc., but it does a outstanding occupation telling you sufficient in regards to it to get going in part three. The book is not when it comes to complexity, but it tells you how it manifests and how to attack it with the very effective and logical CIGARS framework.
Strong points: Concise, written from a clear business (and street smarts) perspective and lots of real world experience. I could relate to each example! The book respects your intelligence and your time. It will have to become a ordinary travel companion.
Problem solving is a skill: may Woodrow help you invent that skill or polish your current skill set? I believe this book delivers on it is promise.
