i am a small business owner have my own LLC and dont have any employees - i do small landscaping jobs - - a client is now telling me that he will not pay my invoice until i provide him my workmans comp insurance number - can he do that - why does my having or not having insurance have to do with my invoice
Workmen's Comp should be used when you have other employees working for you. The reason for this is to protect you. If one of your employees fell during working hours or cut themselves badly on a saw and you didn't have Workmen's Comp then they could sue you and it could end up costing you your business. Even when you hire a company to come in and put a new roof on your house you should ALWAYS ask if they have Workmen's Comp. Hope this helps. Marcy
No.
Answer is No workmens comp is only applicable to injuries sustained while on the job, damages to a vehicle are not part of workmens comp.
Do i need to file income taxes ,workmens comp did not send me a 1099? I did not file last year 2007 because i asked workmens comp. for a 1099 they did not send ...so i assumed i did not need to file. Can i file both years?

No they can't, if it has only to do with being on WC.
A insurance provided by employers for injured employees. There is a provision in Texas law whereby an employer may elect not to purchase workmens' comp insurance. About 33% of Texas employers do not have WC insurance.
The general expectation is that a contractor pays their own expenses. That would include a sub-contractor being responsible for their own workman's compensation. Most subcontracting agreements will specify this in the contract.
It depends on the policy of your employer...I believe.
