I believe .....isn't using the receptionist one?of the 10 things the IRS looks for in determining an employee or not?? The IC CAN use the receptionist but it has to be in the contract...and the amount she/he has to pay for the receptionist?should be in there also.? IF it is in the contract then the IC should be able to claim it on their taxes as an expense. JMHO...

Well we do know that the owner will write that one off, because the owner is paying the receptionist. So got that one. I am thinking, we don't have the details, but sounds like the owner will be collecting the service dollars, paying the i/c a check and probably a line item of subtracting the cost of the receptionist. The other I/C's, not new one, I wonder if they write a check to the owners or a check is cut. If the i/c's write a check, they would write the receptionist fee off on their taxes. But in this case of a new I/C, them paying her a comm and a receptionist fee, I am guessing they will cut her a check. How would the new I/C write this receptionist fee off if she never received the service dollar? Actually if you think about it, if she is receiving a commission of 65% plus the fee, then you could think of it not as 65% commission, but a lower percentage, maybe 63 or 64% commission. In other words, we will pay you 65% commission but you have to pay a receptionist fee, or we will pay you 63% commission and that includes a receptionist fee!! (numbers are estimates guys) Wow, mind boggling, I just don't know. I would guess no she can't write this off, but I am not an accountant. Good question. diana from indiana At 11:14 AM 7/5/2009, you wrote: >Diana, >Great points as usual!
