Are bonuses non-employee compensation?
In 2007 the company I worked for was sold. We were given very generous bonuses with no taxes taken out. In Jan of 08, we were given 1099's for the bonuses and a check from the company to cover their portion of the taxes. I filed my taxes along with the 1099. Two other employees have received bills from the IRS for the "non-employee compensation". These were bonuses given to us the day the sale was completed. Can this be protested and won with the IRS? Thank you for your help.
