Some companies I was dealing with in the early 90’s told me they could not use my outsourcing services because the IRS had in some cases seized their accounts and in other cases threatened to seize their accounts. The IRS forced these companies (all under $4 million in income) to sign a contract stating they would only hire full time employees to do their work and not contractors. This contract was because there was no law stating companies could not outsource labor. (This may be one reason that many of these companies went overseas.) The IRS, using tactics that would have gotten the Mafia RICO’d out of existence, can get away with anything. If they seize your accounts, most businesses would have to close their doors immediately. That’s the way our government works now; criminals with credentials.
Interesting, thanks for sharing. I wish we could get rid of the dept. of labor.
