Webinars on hiring independent contractors and avoiding common tax mistakes

Independent contractors and related tax questions are some of the most common questions we get from readers, so I was glad to see these webinars offered by the IRS Small Business/Self-Employed Division during Small Business Week.

The webinars will cover:

• What to do when you hire and pay independent contractors, and
• How best to avoid common mistakes small business owners may make.
• IRS representatives will also be available for a question and answer session directly after each presentation.
