Turn him in.  What he's doing is called tax fraud.  People like him are the reason we pay so much in taxes.  Seriously, I wish you wouldn't have even mentioned this, because now I'm going to be pi$$ed all day long.  I know of way too many people drawing disability and getting food stamps that work a few hours here and there and get paid cash.  They're worthless, lazy, no-count, welfare receiving, tax fraud bums that need to spend a little time locked up for their worthlessness.

Your payroll department won't be processing any W2's until the end of December. Then they got to the beginning of February before they are inviolation of federal laws.\nIf your job ended allready, you might talk to payroll but usually they do all employee's for the year at the same time. So you will most likely have to wait it out.

If you were a part year resident in a state where you earned no income, but did earn income during that tax year, you'd want to check the resident filing requirements for that state to see if any of your income is taxable even though you earned no income in that state.  \n\nAs a similar example, I live in State A and but only earn income in State B.  Because I'm a resident of State A, I pay income tax there (and in State B) even though my income is earned entirely in state B for the entire year.

This whole issue makes no sense to me.\n\nNow my info is based on my dealings with the construction world, which as you know employs alot of immigrants from south of the border. Now I'm not naive and I know a good many of these so called *legal* immigrants use fake socials and names to get jobs and are in actuality illegal immigrants. Our government is not stupid either but you don't see anybody going to major construction sites and doing immigration status checks now do you? Shutting down major construction projects is not going to win anybody in government very many votes now is it?\n\nIts all politics people. If its currently popular to harass immigrants the government will do so, if its not they turn a blind eye to the issue. Whatever it takes to get themselves re-elected.\n\nNow as to why this is viewed as a huge problem, I just don't see it. \n\nFirst of all the *undermining the economy* statements I see.\n\nEven the truly illegal immigrants pay taxes on the food they eat, they purchase items and pay sales tax, they pay rent, buy gasoline and cigs with high taxes on them, pay utilities, pay tolls, pay insurance, buy automobiles and in cases where they use fake IDs and socials, pay all the applicable payroll related taxes. (and in most cases overpay, you don't think they file returns at the end of the year do you?)\n\nSecondly *they work for extra low wages* The people I know in construction pay industry standard or better wages for their immigrant workers. If anything I hear complaints about how much they have to shell out, usually followed by statements praising the quality of work they get in return.\n\nThirdly *they are taking jobs from hardworking Americans* Honestly, no they aren't. The work they do in construction, while requiring some skill, is mostly back-breaking hard labor. This type of job is considered *beneath* the majority of Americans and lets face it, selling drugs is much easier and while you might be risking a stint of 3 hots and a cot atleast you won't be breaking a sweat! \n\nFourthly, they work, that's more then I can say for some Americans I know. They don't get food stamps, welfare, Medicaid, medicare, social security, or unemployment, they can't, in most cases, afford to have the government look that closely at their status so they get up every morning and go to work!\n\nFifthly, have any of you looked at what it takes to get a green card? Its not a matter of filling out a few forms. There are 3 ways to become a legal immigrant. Sponsorship by an employer, who must prove he/she can't hire anybody else for the job (and even if its true, most employers can't be bothered by all the paperwork) this method also requires the immigrant to hire a lawyer, takes about a year and reams of paperwork (hence the need for a lawyer). Secondly the lottery....yes our government holds a lottery for immigrants who have the equivalent of a HS education to *win* legal status. They give away 50,000 green cards a year to around 8 million lottery applicants. If you don't believe me look up Green Card Lottery. Funny position for a government who currently wants to crack down on illegal immigrants to take don't you think? Enter our lottery and win a chance to live in America! I'm sorry but that seems just alittle cheesy to me. And thirdly marriage to a US citizen. Its just not as simple as people seem to think.\n\nNow I know that there are probally sweat shops employing immigrants at below minimum wage but again which one of you would want that job anyway? Heck, most of the people that I know would rather starve then work at a McDonalds, much less a sweat shop. Besides, if companies want to produce items at  sweat shop wages all they have to do is relocate their factories outside the US...no wait, umm, they are already doing that so again what is the problem?\n\nI'd much rather keep the money here wouldn't you? And as far as the premise that they send money hom

Is premium being paid by you or by the company? If they are paying, they will showing it, as expenses on 'Salary Head'. Then you also cannot claim.

Ask your current employer or the HR department to look at your hire date. You should have paid taxes in from the moment you started getting paid as a regular employee. If you were hired as contract labor and received a 1099 then you never paid any taxes at that time.

Many legals from vietnam and other Asian countries got a 5 year free ride on taxes.\n\nIllegals don't pay taxes because they get paid under the table.

The law is that you have to pay your taxes in the quarter that you have earned the income. If not you get penalized. The only reason that I know this is that I researched it last night. I have a seasonal job and most of my work is done in the first and last quarters. I can't wait till the end of the year to pay. Id say that 20 - 25% of your income should be held per check and you would be safe unless you make big money.......over 75-80 a year.

They have to provide it by end of January 2006. You can contact the IRS by this date, if you haven't received the W-2 from the company.

Well, it makes sense for some I presume tax reasons or school reasons. In a purely mathematical way you are 16 for the whole year, but remember, you are 16.0, 16.1. 16.2 etc... but when you get to 16.7, 16.8 you are closer to 17. So the regulations go with an -arbitrary- date of 31st august to make sure you don't get double benefits in 2 calendar years.

No.  Some people make estimated tax payments if they have income that there hasnt been withholding on.  Such as self-employed people.  Estimated tax payments are made to cover that so they dont have to pay a large amount in taxes and penalties at the end of the year, because of underwithholding.

One reason a company may be reluctant to disclose their earnings is when the company has an employee union. This puts the company at a definite disadvantage if the union is aware of the true financial picture during contract negotiations.\n\nThe other reason is that most companies are "old school" and don't consider that employees need to know this information. What they don't realize is that if an employee is trained to understand the financial picture and the company shows them how they can contribute to the bottom line, the employees are more willing to help the company, especially if the employees see where it can benefit them.

Actually one little correction. The employer is required to have them mailed by January 31st. The employee doesn't necessarily have to have them in their hands by the 31st. As long as they are postmarked January 31st, the employer is ok.

For tax reporting purposes this can be a large number of things.  Comission, rents, subcontract work.  If you earn this type of income you will most likely have to submit a 1099 and pay your own taxes on it at the end of the year as the payer will not deduct taxes from it.  For more info, check out the IRS site and look at info on Form 1099 or information returns.

Strategic issues affect a company in the long run rather than short-term.  Construction is seasonal: it picks up in the spring, and slows down during winter.  Do you hire new people to help finish projects before winter, then lay them off in a few months?  The projects need completed, and overtime is expensive!  But what about the extra people on payroll during the slow part of the year?  What do you do?  If your company has a reputation for layoffs, can you attract good workers next year?  That's a strategic issue, for example.
