First Employee
“I currently pay independent contractors but want to convert them to W-2 employees, what are the exact tax steps to do this transition legally?”
Your first hire means payroll tax, withholding, and state registration. Setting it up correctly the first time is far cheaper than fixing it later.
In your 90-minute session, the KGOB advisor handling it will:
- Read your exact situation and tell you, in plain English, what’s actually going on.
- Lay out your options and the trade-offs — no jargon, no judgment.
- Give you a clear next step you can act on, whether that’s with us or on your own.
“Should I hire someone as a W-2 employee, and what's the tax difference?”
“Should I hire someone as a 1099 contractor, and what's the tax difference?”
“As a travel nurse picking up temporary shifts in three different states, how do I figure out which state legally gets my income tax?”
“I hired a full-time virtual assistant living in another country, do I have to issue them a 1099 or withhold standard U.S. payroll taxes?”
