Sole Trader Accounting Services FAQs

Is "CIS" applicable in the United States?

While the "Construction Industry Scheme" (CIS) is a UK-specific term, the US has similar requirements regarding Contractor Tax Withholding and 1099 Reporting. At BestFiler, we provide the US-equivalent services to ensure your construction business meets all IRS "Construction Industry" standards.

How do I know if my worker is a subcontractor or an employee?

The IRS uses a "Right to Control" test. If you control how, when, and where the work is done, they may be an employee (W-2). If they provide their own tools and work independently, they are likely a contractor (1099). We help you make this determination to avoid massive back-tax penalties.

 

What is "Backup Withholding," and do I need to do it?

If a subcontractor fails to provide a valid Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), the IRS requires you to withhold tax (currently 24%) from their payments. We manage this process for you, ensuring the funds are properly remitted to the IRS so you aren't held liable for the tax.

 

Can you help with certificates of insurance and 1099s?

Yes. We assist in maintaining a clean record of your subcontractors' W-9 forms and can help track their insurance certificates to ensure you aren't exposed to unnecessary liability during a workers' comp audit.
