Federal Court Reinstates Independent Contractor Rule
On March 15, a federal court vacated the Department of Labor (DOL) actions delaying and withdrawing the independent contractor regulation issued in January 2021. For real estate professionals, the rule and subsequent withdraw that was vacated by the court does not change their classification as independent contractors under the Internal Revenue Code, nor does it preempt the many states laws classifying real estate professionals as independent contractors. By reinstating the independent contractor rule, the court has provided needed regulatory certainty for many industries relying on independent contractor workforces.
