Workers Comp question
Hello,
I currently own 36 rental homes. To add an extra hedge of protection and picked up Worker's Comp.
Couple questions:
If you have a sub do any work should you make sure they show a workers comp insurance plan?
Should you 1099 everyone?
My insurance company is treating all companies who I did not 1099 and cannot produce a certificate of liability as an employee. Basically I've got to pay a percentage into the workers comp plan for their services. The certificate of liability needs to be the workers comp coverage.
A recent audit indicates I'll have to pay workers comp for about $40,000 in wages as I cannot produce Certs and 1099s.
Anyone dealing with some similar situation? Thanks greatly appreciated!
