Bad News There is no way of avoiding it. Only dealing with it. For
starters go to
http://www.irs.gov/forms_pubs/pubs.html and download:
pub 15 Circular E; pub 34; pub 915; and note 989.
Then, now that you have some background, interview and hire an
experienced tax professional, attorney or accountant. (Preferable one
that worked for the IRS for at least four years in a professional
capacity.) Ask him/her detailed questions about the number of cases
he/she handled involving this issue. Do not settle for evasive or
condescending answers. consult with your client. They have a vested
interest in the determination. Perhaps they will even pay for the tax
professional.
