Recent tax reform efforts have proposed revising the safe harbor for employers. However, certain provisions in past proposals would have made it difficult if not impossible for the IT and engineering staffing firms to be eligible for the new safe harbor. Given that the 115th Congress may enact major tax reform, we ask that future legislative efforts include a revised safe harbor provision for independent contractor status that fully accommodates independent professionals working within the IT and engineering staffing and solutions industry.
