Yes thank you. That is a big thing I have found with people who hire contractors. They don't know the difference between them and employees

You can sexually harass a contractor but not an employee? What do I win?

Just make sure to notate it on your IRS form. Don’t want to get in trouble with them for filling out something incorrectly because then you’ll be in real trouble.

Is there a good argument to be made for having a different split (more favorable to the employer) than the usual 70-30 for testing vs. therapy contractors, since testing has a higher overhead?

Not necessarily, depends on how many open access tests you use, among other things. Testing usually has lower demand for admin time. Need to schedule fewer patients per time (e.g., 1 patient takes up 6-8 hours vs. 6-8 different patients for that time period). Also, billing is much easier with fewer patients. Personally, it's be much more efficient expense wise for me to hire a neuropsychologist than a therapist in my practice.

You made very good points, thank you.
