If you are self employed aka an independent contractor, you pay what are called self employment taxes that equal the employee and employer portions of Social security taxes for an employee.  You are supposed to make quarterly estimated payments for your federal taxes.  The link below contains links to IRS publications and forms for the self employed.

If you get wages it should be on the W-2 form.\n\nIf you need to look up your employer's EIN, it looks like there are services available on the web to do this. (See source)

Do you have a contract or something that says he'd pay you?  Did you fill out any employment forms (ie tax forms?).  If not you could start with the State Dept of Labor since he's trying to pay you under the table (and that would probably cheat the state out of unemployment or the tax form you need at the end of the year for your taxes).\n\nBut you mentioned Gov Bush came in.  So it must be a high profile restaurant.  Maybe go to a local TV station and see if they want to do an expose on an uneithical business.

Employee- the chiropractor pays in social security for you, provides you with an area to work and insures the building too.\nIndependent contractor- you are responsible for paying in your taxes, you have to set up and take down your stuff all the time, You have to provide your own insurance AND possibly have to pay rent to the chiropractor letting you use his/her space!

Your employer is REQUIRED by law to social security and medicare taxes.  They are also responsible for their portion of the social security and medicare taxes.\n\nYour taxes, if you received a 1099, could be over 40%!  You would be responsible for the 15.4% self-employment tax, plus your ordinary income tax rate.  That's not a good proposal.

In regard to HR, you can argue it either way.  You don't have employees, but you do require certain skills from your contractors and you do pay them and prepare related tax documentation.  Skill asessment, payroll, and tax documentation are all functions that fall under broadly defined HR (which includes payroll and benefits administration)...\n\nAs to the right way to go about recruiting/hiring contractors, you need to make sure you are hiring people with the right skills and are not overpaying for the skill level...

Not sure but they'll probably cut you a pretty fat check going back to when you first filed your claim but be aware SS Admin is famous for coming back down the road saying they overpaid and may want some back so set aside a chunk of the $$$ just in case

you should get a payment depending on service, check with your union rep,if you are going to be employed by the same employer they may make a payment or keep you on your present pay scale until you agree to forgo the payment, if no agreement exists with your employer try to make a agreement, on a full redundancy package you would be covered by law, if you have not got a union try contacting a suitable one on the issue..

There are two main forms contractors work for. W2 and 1099. If you work W2 then the employer is liable for employment taxes, Which includes matching Social security as well as unemployment and a host of other taxes. W2 workers have to have federal and state taxes deducted from them. W2 workers also get benifits like insurance. \n\n1099 Vendors are paid a flat rate and handle their own taxes. It may be an individual or a collective group of individuals. Nothing is deducted as the vendor will handle taxes, provide benifits and otherwise deal with Gov red tape.

If you and your husband split up, you will still be the representative payee for the 2 boys.  Just notify the local SS office and provide them with your bank details and new address.

Ask them for name and address. Since you will be paying them as part of your business, then they are your employees and they need to fill out a W-4 Form.  \n\nIf you are paying customers for services rendered then they are Independent contractors, and you will need to send them Form 1099 at the end of the year.

I'm not an accountant, but...as an employee, you're a W9 employee(Company reports and pays taxes on you.)  As a self-employed / contract person, you are a 1040.  That is you report, file and pay ALL of your own taxes.  You will continue to pay the same rate, but, will have business deductions that you wouldn't have before and you will have to pay the full Soc. Security taxes (about 15%).  Before you and your employer shared that expense.

I did two and one half years of consulting.  \n\nThe pluses:   better pay than the salary employees.\nflexible hours.  You work on an hourly basis and normally your contractor will let you set your hours, within reason.  If you do well, they may offer you full time employment. \n\nThe minuses:  no health insurance provided, no vacations, higher taxes--you have to pay both ends of social security tax. \nYou are not treated as an employee. Not one of the group.

These look like dice.com monikers.\n\nCON_CORP means that you are a self-employed contractor set up as an S-Corporation for tax purposes.  They pay you on an arrangement that is called "Corp-to-Corp".  The corporate directors (which would probably be you) are responsible for paying all taxes.\n\nCON_IND means that you are a self-employed contractor.  The company (or contracting agency) will pay you and report the payments on a 1099-MISC form to the IRS.  You are responsible for making quarterly tax payments to the IRS.\n\nBe aware that under either of these situations, you may be subject to higher taxes, called self-employment tax, which is both employee and employer parts of social security and medicare tax.  The self-employment tax was 15.3% in 2005.

Medicare is Health Insurance through our Federal Goverment that everyone that is a US citizen gets when they turn 65.  (or if disabled).  Part A is free and part B is $88 out of your social security.  You want both parts, and a supplemental Medigap policy.  \n\nMedicaid is Welfare Health care provided also by the government, but regulated by your particular State.  You must be very impoverished to qualify for Medicaid.  A lot of time people don't qualify for it if they have a Long Term Care need.  This is how people lose what they worked their whole life for, and end up losing it all and ending up on welfare.  Avoid Medicaid if you can, but it is there for those that need it.

Once the bill collectors have them, they are already written off by the medical service provider, and they sold them to the collection agency for less than 10% of the face value.  At that point, the collection agency gets to keep any money they recover; none of it goes back to the medical care provider.  So the social assistance agencies can't help you pay any of these back.  You should search the web for advice on how to preserve all your rights when dealing with collection agencies.  If you don't have the money to pay the full bill, it is not profitable for them to sue you (even though they legally can), so they would rather negotiate a price that you can pay.  But get everything in writing and don't agree to anything over the phone.\n\nFor the future, if you have low income and don't have insurance, check with your county social service agency about getting catastrophic insurance with them.  You will fill out a financial statement, and they will set the premiums according to their guidelines.  Then if you need emergency or critical care, this will cover the physician fees when you are treated at a county hospital (the hospital can usually get reimbursed through medicaid for its charges, but the doctor's can't).  There are a lot of working people with low incomes who fall in this gap, and in most states, the county has the only agency to provide a little bit of a safety net.  (In states like California and New York, the state agencies may adequately fill this role).
