Florida Requiring Independent Contractor Reporting Beginning October 2021

As of October 1, 2021, Florida now requires Independent Contractor Reporting (ICR) by businesses. Signed into law earlier this year, Florida Statute 409.2576 now requires that employers report new hire information for independent contractors to the Florida Child Support Program. The statute requires that such reports be made within 20 days of hire for new hire employees, or within 20 days of the earlier of the following two conditions:
• The date of the first payment made which requires an information return in accordance with the IRC; or
• The date on which a contract providing such payments is entered into.
Reporting is accomplished through the Department of Revenue Child Support Services for Employers page, linked below.
