Fed-Ex should tell them “MOLON LABE!”
Reason #45873459 that the IRS should be abolished. What difference does it make who did what, as long as it was done? Taxing the same job differently for different workers is social-micro-engineering. Only the most arrogant or the most clueless think they know how to create utopia by such engineering. Neither class should be in charge of America.
A similar level of vigilance is required on the part of people who feature themselves as independent contractors, but only work for one customer. The IRS is going to come after you and your customer.
Can add only one word: FairTax.

Seriously, the IRS has some of the craziest rules when it comes to determining who's an employee VS who's a contractor... There are actually companies who do nothing but "certify" contractors. I know this because a company I worked for had a very hard time with the IRS a while back...
I worked as a full time employee of a company... A large software company wanted me to come on to their site, using their equipment, to teach a 5 day class. So they attempted to hire my company to send me to teach the class. But because I was going to the software company's offices, and using their equipment, I was being classified as an employee of that software company by the certification company. We tried to explain to them that I wasn't being hired, but my company was being contracted to send me. It was a real nightmare, and it involved all sorts of letters, a tax lawyer, and a waiver over a period of about 3 weeks. Eventually things were straightened out and I jetted off to teach the class, but it was a real nightmare.

Well now at least their shorts are “Brown”.
Last year I was tracking a Fed Ex ground shipment....and sure enough it arrived on time in Montana. Problem was....I’m in New Jersey.
I use FedEx as my main shipper at work. Last week I got a letter stating rates are going up an average of 8%. I wonder how much of that increase is to cover FedEx’s ass regarding these fines.
Thanks!
The IRS didn’t order FEDEX to pay these back taxes and fines. They ordered the customers of FEDEX to pay these back taxes and fines. Corporations do not pay taxes. They collect taxes from their customers and pass them on to the government.
They debase the currency more and more, then they tax what’s left over more and more.
What a racket.
I jumped ship at FedEx Ground early this summer. When they converted the third floor to offices for lawyers, I could see that things were changing quickly. The lawyers became the centerpiece of the building and bonuses were gutted. I loved working for them until the lawsuits came pouring in.
The rest of us have to follow the rules. So does FedEx. If anyone doesn’t like it, change the tax code. Anything short of that leaves nothing to discuss.
Teamsters President Jim Hoffa said: “”What a great Christmas gift to FedEx Ground workers who have suffered under FedEx’s illegal independent contractor scam.”

This statement is so blatantly absurd it makes me shake my head in wonder that someone could be shameless enough to say it! These people signed up to work as independent contractors, nobody pulled a scam on them! What about all the independent truckers who drive their own big rigs for just one trucking company? Are they going to be reclassified as employees? This level of insanity leaves me sputtering!
Will the IRS now refund money to all the independent contractors? Or will they collect from the FedEx AND keep the taxes they already collected?
