What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
I own a construction business. My live in girlfriend owns a cleaning business that is a DBA. I do complete remodels of interior homes. I have workmans compensation. My guys were getting sloppy with cleaning the home, dusting, vacuuming, washing windows etc, picking up left over building material ( tile, trim, small pieces of sheetrock). So I hired my girlfriend business which is just her to come in and do a complete cleaning after the job was done. Last year she was issued a 1099 for her work. I did keep her very busy as I contract off a large company that flips 100 houses a year.
Workmans comp did their annual audit and jacked my rate up for her 1099 for 2012. I have never 1099'ed anyone. I assumed she was responsible for her own insurance and it would not affect my workmans compensation.
I am not 1099ing her for 2013 taxes. I am now not making a profit off her cleaning. She bills me with her business invoices, I pay the bill.
Would this still be considered a 1099, or do I just have my accountant write her invoices off as an expense?
