I'm curious as to how many clubs are issuing 1099s now... I had heard that it was now mandatory for strip clubs to do so, but my dancer friends have reported back "negative, ghostrider" to "are they actually doing it".
I'm really wanting to go back to the business, but not if it's going to be risky later on for state licensure. I've read up on every post I can find here (mainly Melonie and Laurisa's), and the arguments are strong for both sides.
- According to some, if you don't use stripping for a credit application, don't get a club issued 1099 and file your own taxes without naming the club directly (i.e., I'd file under "freelance model" since I legitimately do model otherwise), and don't make repeated bank deposits of checks, you're pretty safe, aside from getting caught up in a raid. According to others, you will be found out somehow no matter what.
- On the issue of states that issue licenses, my state does, but it is totally sealed except for a court order, and a search only reveals that you were issued a general business license, along with 1000 other people that month.
Anyone have experience with this? Especially anyone licensed with a medical board?
...... I find it absolutely ridiculous I have to be concerned about this - I have a friend who has a felony for sale of narcotics, and is still planning on med school... on a lawyer's advice of "It'll be so long ago, they won't care about it"... sheesh.
Also, sorry if I'm beating a dead horse
Edit: Directed straight at Melonie, did you get in trouble for "conduct" because it was WHILE you held the license? All the stories I find about teachers and nurses are also that they got in trouble because they were either actively in sex work, or they had left trails online so they were still technically in it as far as the board was concerned... Would this be the same if, in my case, the dancing was 5 years in the past and before a license?
