Request for Preliminary Worker Classification
Assessment or Audit Lead Referral
Purpose
This form may be used by a worker who believes that he/she is
misclassified as an independent contractor or to provide
information on the business entity to the Employment
Development Department (EDD) as a potential employment tax
audit lead. Please indicate the action you wish the EDD to take
by checking one of the boxes below.
General Information
This form is designed to cover many work activities. Some of the
questions may not apply to you. You should answer all of the
questions or mark them “UNKNOWN” or “DOES NOT APPLY.”
PLEASE TYPE OR PRINT ALL INFORMATION CLEARLY
If additional space is needed, please attach another sheet. If
you require assistance in the completion of this form, contact
the nearest Employment Tax Office listed on the EDD website
at www.edd.ca.gov/office_locator/ or call 888-745-3886.
Upon completion, return to:
EMPLOYMENT DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
FACD – Audit Section, MIC 94
PO Box 826880
Sacramento, CA 94280-0001
Check either the “OPINION” or “AUDIT LEAD” box:
OPINION
I am requesting an opinion on whether I am an employee
or an independent contractor of the entity for which I am
currently working.
This opinion is for your information and the entity will not be
notified of the EDD’s opinion without your permission. However,
it is the EDD’s practice to encourage employer voluntary
compliance.
Sharing the opinion with the entity will assist the entity in
meeting its obligations under the California Unemployment
Insurance Code. May the EDD supply the entity with a copy of
the opinion?
Yes
No
If you checked “No,” the entity will not be contacted. If you
checked “Yes,” the EDD’s notification to the entity will not
include your name, address, Social Security number, or a copy
of this form.
The EDD’s determination will not affect your future eligibility for
employee-related benefits, such as California Unemployment
Insurance and State Disability Insurance.* If you file a claim for
benefits, a separate determination will be made to determine
your eligibility.
* Includes Paid Family Leave (PFL)
AUDIT LEAD
I am providing information to the EDD as a potential
employment tax audit lead. I recognize that if the EDD
does conduct an audit, this form may be shared with
the entity.
The law provides that all information contained in the entity’s file
be open to examination by the entity being audited. If you
object to your name being disclosed to the entity, leave the
worker identity portion of this form blank. (Copies of any
contracts you have with the entity or other documentation that
you attach to the questionnaire should have your name,
address, and Social Security number blacked out in order to
prevent your identity from being disclosed.)
If you wish to remain anonymous and are also requesting an
opinion, please submit two separate requests (DE 230) with the
worker identification completed for the “Opinion” request and the
worker identity blank for the “Audit Lead.”
The information you provide will be forwarded to a local
Employment Tax Office.
