Payroll - Email sent by QuickBooks with False Information on Hiring Workers

I received a very disturbing email from QuickBooks "Mineral" it said "Are we permitted to ask applicants about their immigration status?"  Their email states no, which is INCORRECT!!  You absolutely need to make sure an employee is permitted to work!  You can be fined and receive serious legal consequences for not asking for an applicant's tax identification and work permit status!!!  You can't even file a W2 or 1099 without asking status.  

 

This is not a political issue, everyone in the business knows what is required to hire someone!  A natural born citizen has tax identification and immigrant of any status receives a temporary work permit which is REQUIRED BY LAW!!  You cannot legally pay anyone without their tax identification and work permit status!  

 

Shame on Intuit QuickBooks! You should not give out false information.
