After one of my contractors recorded a large five figure audit premium on a Workers Compensation I received a call from the insurance company premium auditor.  After talking it seemed that my insured&#8217;s accountant\/bookeeper had his name attached to a number of these uncollectibles.  There were several other bookeepers, usually allied with a particular insurance broker, who had racked up the same kind of numbers.  I don&#8217;t know exactly how these guys massage a  tax return by the IRS but I doubt any of the returns would stand up to any scrutiny.  <\/p>\n<p>In the meantime the legitimate contractor who pays witholding and the sky high workers compensation premiums on real payrolls can&#8217;t possibly compete and the American he employes are out of work.  With respect to the Cobb County Courthouse job I think the injured parties should demand a complete IRS audit of all of the contractors on the job.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>R.M.C.<br \/>\nGwinnett<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comments: The method of employing illegals which contractors seem to favor &#8211; 1099 a supposedly independent contractor who pays illegals cash &#8211; should be easy to uncover by the most casual IRS audit.
