Get Form Ss 8

IRS Definition Filing a Form SS-8 requesting a “worker status” determination means you or the firm is asking the IRS to establish if the services you provide to the firm are those of an employee or an independent contractor.

The California sales tax audit statute of limitations is 3 years for taxpayers who have filed tax returns. That means the BOE has three years within which they can audit those returns. However, if you fail to file tax returns, the statute of limitations is 8 years.

Normally the IRS takes up to 30 days to perform additional reviews on returns before sending a formal notice (e.g CP05) to the tax filer.

After a worker files Form SS-8, the IRS sends a letter to the business. It identifies the worker and includes a blank Form SS-8. The business is asked to complete and return it to the IRS, which will render a classification decision. But the Form SS-8 determination process doesn't constitute an official IRS audit.

You have four years from the end of the tax year in which the overpayment arose to claim a refund, as shown below.

Firms and workers file Form SS-8 to request a determination of the status of a worker for purposes of federal employment taxes and income tax withholding.

Generally, you must file your claim for a credit or refund within 3 years from the date your original return was filed or within 2 years from the date the tax was paid, whichever is later. Filing Form SS-8 does not prevent the expiration of the time in which a claim for a refund must be filed.

After you file Form SS-8, the IRS opens its investigation using the information you and your worker provide. Investigations typically take several months, and you could wait up to six months for your determination.
