“HFNY does not file any year-end employee tax filings because it outsources its human resources, payroll, and employee benefits administration to an outside professional employer organization. Accordingly, all employment documentation, including required payroll records, deductions forms, hiring documentation, and year end tax filings are prepared and maintained by the outside professional employer organization and not by HFNY. HFNY reimburses the professional employment organization for the employees' compensation and the reimbursements are reported on 990 Part VII, Section A and 990 Part IX, Lines 5-10.”
