Statutory Employees: The Weird Tax Rule You Need to Know

April 25, 2025

“Tax Code–Defined Statutory Employees
Are Hybrid Self-Employed”

with all the details…

Are You Accidentally Overpaying Payroll Taxes?

You’ve probably heard the term statutory employee—but do you really know what it means?

Here’s the kicker: a statutory employee isn’t your average employee. They’re a unique hybrid created by the tax code—part independent contractor, part employee—and if you hire any of these workers without knowing the rules, you could be paying more in payroll taxes than you need to.

In our latest article, we break down:

  • Who qualifies as a statutory employee (hint: it’s more than just drivers and salespeople)
  • The 4 critical thresholds you must understand
  • Which taxes you are—and aren’t—required to withhold and pay
  • How to legally avoid statutory employee classification when it doesn’t benefit you

This isn’t just about compliance—it’s about saving money and reducing risk.

Demystify one of the tax code’s strangest classifications.
