How it works
What this skill does
Bringing on help? Whether someone's an employee or a contractor changes the taxes and the forms — and getting it wrong is expensive. Miles talks it through.
- Reads the relationship — the core question is control: set hours and your
tools (employee) vs. their own how, when, and tools (contractor).
- Lines up the forms — W-9 + 1099-NEC for contractors; W-4, withholding,
and a W-2 for employees.
- Captures next steps — collect the W-9, set up payroll, get an EIN.
Requires
Nothing to set up. General guidance, not legal or tax advice — ask a pro on close calls.
