| Aug 16, 2023 at 22:59 | comment | added | No Name | Ok, I see. For some reason, that payroll software only asks date of birth if the company type is individual or sole proprietor. Perhaps it's something to do with their ToS. I think other software like Gusto doesn't ask date of birth. So regardless, the IRS should never see independent contractors'' or employees' date of birth, right? | |

On the other hand, if you told them "under 65" then you wouldn't have these benefits, so that would be enough information. | |
