Learn about the compliance requirements of each state for reporting the hiring of independent contractors and freelancers.
Using the Liquid platform helps you with independent contractor compliance in the United States and permanent establishment risk overseas. But you may not know that each state has its own rules and regulations related to freelancers and independent contractors. For instance, California AB5 has affected California companies as well as companies in any state that work with California freelancers and independent contractors. And FIFA applies to companies located in New York City as well as organizations that work with independent contractors and freelancers in New York.
While most states don’t have reporting requirements for reporting when you’ve engaged with or paid an independent contractor, there are many that do. For example, if you are working with contractors, freelancers, and vendors in California, you are probably filing IRS Form 1099 (or IRS Form 1099-NEC, to be specific) for payments made. But have you filed form DE 542 Report of Independent Contractor(s) with the California Employment Development Department (EDD)? There are many other states and US territories that have similar reporting requirements.
What is the purpose of Independent Contractor / Freelancer Reporting Requirements?
Generally, states match new-hire reports against their child support records to locate parents, establish a child support wage-withholding order, or enforce an existing order. Employers are required to report data on a new hire within 20 days of remuneration for work performed.
In some states, this reporting is limited to W-2 employees (full-time, part-time, and temporary employees), but in other states, this also includes independent contractors and freelancers. At the time of this writing, federal law does not require this reporting for independent contractors.
Generally, the information submitted about independent contractors is used to increase child support collection by helping to locate parents who are delinquent in their child support obligations. Reports show that the New Hire Reporting Program, together with income withholding, has resulted in tens of millions of increased support dollars for children.
What are the Independent Contractor / Freelancer Reporting Requirements in my State or US Territory?

You are required to file a Form 1099-MISC for the services performed by the independent contractor.
You pay the independent contractor $600 or more OR enter into a contract for $600 or more.
The independent contractor is an individual or sole proprietorship.
Additionally, form DE 542 must be filed within 20 days of either making payments of $600 or more or of entering into the contract, in any calendar year (whichever is earlier). Report each independent contractor once each year. If either the contract amount or amount paid includes the cost of parts or materials, that cost is to be included in determining whether the service-provider has been paid $600 or more.
If the independent contractor is a corporation, general partnership, limited liability partnership or a limited liability company, then the business is not required to file the report. Businesses who don’t have employees and are not registered with the EDD are not required to register and receive a California employer payroll tax account number solely for the purpose of reporting independent contractor service-providers. These EDD-registered businesses must complete the DE 542 using their Social Security or federal employer identification numbers.
If the proper forms are not filed with EDD, it can result in penalties being assessed to the business. If the report is filed late, EDD may impose a penalty of $24 for each failure to report. If the failure to report is found to be intentional or if the report is falsified, a penalty of $490 may be charged.
