Keep entity, payroll, owner, worker, and cash-flow records separate so the business issue and any potential individual exposure can be evaluated clearly.

Choose the page that matches the actual notice, form, enforcement step, decision, record problem, or term—not merely the broadest phrase. Each guide states the file to build, the distinction to verify, common mistakes, and primary sources.
