An agency owner that I was interviewing for possible services told me that I would have to become an employer if I hired an independent aide. I would be reimbursed by my ltc insurance company for the daily expense for ADL’s but the insurance company wants her personal information and ss#. I can’t seem to find an agency that will allow their employees to drive and that is essential for me.
What I was saying is I want to hire an aide myself and not use an agency. I will pay the aide and request reimbursement from LTC In that scenario do I have to become an “employer “ and provide 1099?
Yes I think I have to speak to a tax advisor. I had called the insurance company and they said they do not do the 1099’s. Yet they want the ss# and personal information of anybody I hire. I thought since they want that info they should provide the 1099 to the individuals we choose. If I hire an agency they accept assignment but I don’t think they would pay the individuals by assignment because they want to reimburse me via my bank
