What is the name of your state? tenn
I worked for a company in tenn that hires on ladies to do home parties. They require us to attend meetings, to buy a "starter kit", maintain inventory, report our monthly sales, they train us and provide us with a way to process credit cards. We are requried to use their order forms and must have any advertising we do "okayed" by home office. In our contract, that has a hefty no-compete and non-disclosure clause, it states that there is no employee-employer relationship. I guess I should explain that we buy our inventory from them then sell it at the price that is decided by them. We then get to keep the difference.
So I guess I'm quite confussed as to why we do not receive 1099s from them. When I look at the IRS exhibit 4640-1, it looks as if more of the deciding factors would label us as employees. My accountant was baffeled as well.
Oh yea.....this was stared by the fact that the company will not provide me, or my accountant, with my gross purchases.
Anyone out there have any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Amy
