What the Legislature in California did was to recognize that the IRS is the determiner of what is called "Status:, which is the classification you put on your tax form. Incorrect status can have severe ramifications once you file your tax return. We had a Partnership that filed 6 years in the wrong status, and nearly 7 years later, the IRS told them they had to re-file all of the returns, which added thousands in penalties and interest. Truckers don't have the right to make the determination, neither does the company they work for, only the IRS. The California law, is only recognizing that, and using the test that will make that determination. Many truckers are stating they don't have the money for the permits and licenses, and that's what bothers them.
