The Labor Dept. and IRS have a pact to share leads on misclassified workers.
But as usual, the results from our government have not been very robust.
Since 2012, the Revenue Service has selected for examination a mere 210 of the 1,300 referrals it’s received from DOL, and IRS hasn’t given DOL any referral leads. The Service cites lack of resources for its inaction in this area and is pondering whether to terminate the agreement.
