Tennessee Contractor License Exam — All Questions

In Tennessee's construction industry, at how many employees does workers' compensation coverage generally become mandatory (stricter than the five-employee threshold for most other industries)?

• a.Only at 25 or more employees
• b.At ten or more employees
• c.At five or more employees
• d.At one or more employees✓

Tennessee's construction industry is the strict case: employers providing construction services must carry workers' compensation coverage even with a single employee. Most non-construction Tennessee employers are not required to carry coverage until they have five or more.T.C.A. §50-6-902 (construction services providers)

What do the federal Form I-9 and Form W-4 each accomplish for a new hire?

• a.The I-9 sets federal income-tax withholding; the W-4 verifies work eligibility
• b.The I-9 verifies the worker's identity and authorization to work; the W-4 tells the employer how much federal income tax to withhold✓
• c.Both forms are filed with the IRS at the time of hire
• d.The I-9 reports year-end wages; the W-4 reports nonemployee compensation

Form I-9 verifies a new hire's identity and work authorization (and is retained, not filed). Form W-4 tells the employer how much federal income tax to withhold. Tennessee has no state income tax, so there is no state withholding form.USCIS Form I-9 / M-274; IRS Form W-4
