    Default Undocumented Employees

    My question involves business law in the state of: ?undocumented employees?

    First, I would like to thank for this website.

    A friend is asking me for a favor and I would like some opinions. My friend wants me to hire his son BUT not under his son's name. He wants me to use his information (my friends) to hire his son. The information on the payroll will be my friends but his son would be working. They are US citizens. His son goes to college and his financial aid would be affected if he works full time and goes to school. Therefore, he asked me for a favor.

    What happens if someone finds out? What would be my penalties? Could I loose my business??

    Thank you

    You would be committing fraud in relation to your state and federal tax filings.

    The sensible answer is, "Sorry, I can't do this."

    You could lose your business and get a criminal record.

    I'm surprised that you'd consider someone asking you to commit fraud to be a friend. Maybe you need to have another look at your definition of the word.
