General Description:
Tax research is the method used to determine the best available
solution to a situation that possesses tax consequences. The tax
research process is concerned with finding the possible
alternatives to a tax situation and becomes a key in tax
planning. This process involves establishing the facts,
identifying the issues, locating and evaluating the appropriate
authority, developing conclusions and recommendations and
communicating the recommendations.
Question
Aaron, a resident of Minnesota, has been a driver for Green
Delivery Service for the past six years. For this purpose, he
leases a truck from Green, and his compensation is based on a
percentage of the income resulting from his pickup and delivery
services. Green allows its drivers to choose their 10-hour shifts
and does not exercise any control on how these services are
carried out. Under Green's operating agreement with its drivers,
Green can terminate the arrangement after 30 days' notice. In
practice, however, Green allows its truckers to quit immediately
without giving advance notice. The agreement also labels the
drivers as independent contractors. Green maintains no health or
retirement plans for its drivers, and each year it reports their
income by issuing Forms 1099-Misc. Green requires its drivers
to maintain a commercial driver's license and be in good
standing with the state highway law enforcement division.
Citing the employment tax regulations in Sections 31.3121(d)-
1(c)(2) and 31.3306(i)-1(b), an IRS agent contends that Aaron is
an independent contractor and, therefore, is subject to the self-
employment tax. Based on Peno Trucking, Inc. (93TCM 1027,
T.C. Memo. 2007-66), Aaron disagrees and contends that he is
an employee (i.e. not self-employed).
Who is correct and why?
Specific Requirements:
Students are required to research the issue and provide
communication of the results in (1) a tax memorandum and (2) a
