OK, you can end 4a2b now (FDX)
Making even more money now... How about a little something for the effort?!
NEW YORK (AP) -- FedEx says the IRS will not impose tax penalties for 2004 through 2006 in the package delivery company's long-running battle over the classification of its FedEx Ground drivers as contractors instead of employees.
The IRS also recently withdrew its initial penalty of $319 million plus interest from an audit from 2002.
The company, based in Memphis, Tenn., said in a statement it may be audited for 2007 and 2008. But it doesn't think the IRS will assess tax penalties for those years, either.
FedEx has been sued in a number of states over its classification of drivers. Because they are labeled independent contractors, they don't get health insurance and other benefits afforded to employees.

FedEx projects busier busiest day
FedEx sees slight boost in shipments on its busiest day, forecasts 13 million on Dec. 14
NEW YORK (AP) -- FedEx is predicting a little more holiday cheer this year.
The company, based in Memphis, Tenn., forecasts it will ship 13 million packages on Dec. 14, which it expects to be its busiest day this year.
That would be up more than 8 percent from the total of about 12 million packages shipped on its peak day last year. That was the busiest day ever for FedEx, due in part to a growing partnership with the U.S. Postal Service. Last year's volumes were also boosted because of rival DHL exiting the U.S. market.
