First Employee
“I run a construction company and frequently use day laborers, how do I legally handle payroll taxes if they do not have a taxpayer identification number?”
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 60-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?”
