Workarounds Described

• uses paper receipts and manual expense tracking to try to prove legitimacy
• relies on housing authority's judgment without formal income verification tool

Implied Software Gaps

• Mobile app that logs work instructions and employer control evidence for IRS misclassification claims
• Income report generator that automatically adjusts for non-employee deductions to show true net income

WorkerClassify
