Doesn’t work that way. IRS has specific prior case law from businesses which already tried this, and lost to the IRS , to back up the IRS in auditing/prosecuting you.
You didn’t reinvent the wheel.
I figured I wouldn’t have, but why would that have been illegal before Obamacare anyway, unless you were trying to avoid overtime that is.
Do it NOW. The IRS isn’t doing any audits during this down time.
Fair Tax anyone? Now’s the time.
