We are a LLC S-Corp and use a staffing agency for our employee. We do not handle any payroll for the employee, we report hours weekly and the agency pays the employee. How do we classify, for tax purposes, payments to the staffing company? We also need to report any payroll to local counties, would this be considered paid employees or maybe subcontractor payments? Thank you in advance!
They are not your employee so all payroll taxes and reports are paid and filed by the staffing company. You will need to get a W-9 form from the staffing company and if applicable based on the W-9 form, may be eligible for a 1099 at year end. All payments to the staffing company should hit an expense account such as professional fees.
I can help you classify your company staffing in QuickBooks Desktop payroll, @klm4mchr.
To properly handle your staffing company's tax processes, I recommend contacting your tax agency and tax expert. This way, they can help you with an accurate classification for your taxes.
